I have a Mercury Milan. Same CHEAP clock. There are a few things Ford cheaped out on, clock , folding mirrors, UNDERCOATING?, glove box light ect. I guess this is how I got my 0% financing.
The clock is just another example of how Ford went very cheap when it did not have to. Metal hands on the clock would have gone a long way. I said "cheap is no undercoating" because, after the advent of the dealer undercoating scam, cars were factory undercoated, at least the ones I purchased. So now what I see is some undercoating, lots of plastic shields and lots of bare metal in between! The undercoating no only protects better (IMO) but also helps quiet the ride. Perhaps the plastic is lighter but it leaves unprotected areas and also dirt, water and mud can get behind the plastic and sit there staying moist longer. I do not like it, but that's just my opinion. If more people care to chime in we should start a new thread.
