CIC Parts Demonstration
CIC Palm Springs Meeting - January 1999
Prior to changing parts on the vehicle, the fit of the original parts were observed. It is interesting to note that some observed that there appeared to be a defect in the factory-installed hood, which may or may not have affected the results of the demonstration.
Then the original parts were replaced with off-the-shelf non-OEM
and OEM parts.
Observers were unaware of the type of part they were
rating.
1996 Ford Windstar Minivan
