Cracked the windshield ($188) and required replacement bags (used). I haven't found much info on the web and am hesitant to just plug in the new stuff and see if it works.

I removed and then re-installed mine a couple of times while I was working on the cruise control. 95 Contour Zetec, ATX (wrecked, sitting in the barn) 95 Mystique Zetec, MTX 2000 Taurus SEL 3.0L Duratec 1994 Crown Victoria LX 4.6 V8 1993 Chevy Silverado 4.3 V6
