Have you checked the tightness of the bolts?

I read one time that the reason it's so high is because the wheel is aluminum and the lugs are steel and the two don't grip each other well.

I made a funnel out of a liter soda bottle, it assists greatly when using the OEM funnel. The bottle neck fits snugly into the filter and makes it much easier if you are pouring in any amount.

No mention of year or engine, but it sounds like a hose failure that started as a leak.

Or our country.

I use 303 on my dash and tires, great stuff. The gaskets I lube are under hood, tail gate and doors, so no sun exposure. But it's so dry and hot, it bakes the rubber, so hopefully it helps.

Because I live in the desert, every year I spray all my rubber gaskets with silicon spray and massage it in with a silicon dampened rag. It keeps them supple. I also did it in Minnesota to keep the door from freezing. I also inspect and lube my pano regularly. Don't use WD, it's a petroleum product and breaks down summer and plastic.

I have seen the word bezel on the forums, but never took the time to look it up. Now I know.

Well, what do ya know, it works. A lot of info displayed. .

It was a long time ago, but I don't think it was SYNC related, it just displayed there. I mostly remember it displayed mph, GPS location, longitude/latitude, and one or two other things. Been searching for a document that described the sequence and finally found it in the cloud. It wasn't my Focus, it was my 2016 C-Max Energi. With the car off, press the left OK button then with your foot on the brake press start. Hold the OK until ET displays in the top left corner of the left screen. Use the down arrow to cycle through the diagnostic screens. At the fifth screen will be the diagnostic test codes. If there are no codes the screen will be blank. To exit press and hold the left OK button until clear. As I was typing, I thought the above might be something different, but I was too far in to abandon the effort. I'm going to see if this does anything on my 2020 Edge.

Off topic a little, but on my 2012 Focus, (probably other models too) there was a series of buttons you could sequence to bring up on the SYNC I screen indicating your geographical location, speed and other info. Does anyone know if that's still possible?

WD-40 is a petroleum based lubricant and over time degrades rubber and plastic. Silicon spray is just as effective and you can revitalize rubber door seals with it. Now days, I only use WD on metal to metal lube.

Not sure how to solve your particular issue, but one time I had a squeak in a door panel and I sprayed silicon in the area and it took care of it. I've only done it once and it worked once, so worth a thought. Good luck.

Not all accidents make it on to the Carfax report. I'd be wary because last time I checked where I live, 2020's are still near 20K depending on mileage and I don't recall seeing one priced this low. Good luck.

Nice work, looks great.
