clockworks said:I've driven several Mondeos, and they have all suffered from wind noise. To me, it's the one drawback with most Fords, and not something that the Vauxhalls I've driven have suffered from.
My current car ('54 Vectra 1.9 CDTi) is much quieter on the motorway, although the Mondeos had a smoother ride.

Drivers Door: Pop that cap off beind the handle and undo the screw behind. Pull the cover out, it clips on toward the front of the car too so be a bit careful at that point as the plastic can crack.
Passenger Door: Pop out the electric window switch and unplug it, then do the same as above.
There are always people breaking Mondeos on www.fordmondeo.org.
Should be able to get replacements cheap enough
I have never seen them wear away like that though!
You might just be as well to go to your local breakers, stuff like this usually ends up getting crushed with the rest of the car (unless someones bought a partial or whole interior) so you'd probably get them for peanuts.Gimpymoo said:Thanks for the info.
PS
I also need one of the handle things which you use to adjust the tilt of the seat... the one on the side of the seat. Will look on there for one of those also.
Thanks again.

Mine is the 2l one and it has discs all round
Tesla said:GlasgowTitan, your rear wheel doesnt look as if it's in the middle of the arch. Is it just camera angle or has it been smashed before?
To remove this part use a small screwdriver to pop out the plastic circle part in the middle, then the cog shaped plastic part will pull off (the bit you actually grip and rotate). Remember to take both bits and it just clips back on in the reverse order.Gimpymoo said:Thanks for the info.

Tesla said:Did you get your aircon thing sorted?
I imagine the teeth have been sheared off of one of the cogs.GlasgowTitan said:Might as well ask this also while I'm here, the drivers seat is the one with the electric height adjustment, but when I press the button the motor makes a noise, but there is no movement in the seat. Now with me being 5'6" I'd prefer it a little higher. Any ideas on what could be wrong or how much it would cost to fix?
