I had this happen on my Ranger about a year after I bought it... Luckily I was still under the warranty and Ford replaced them. It's been fine ever since.
Good to know there are a few solutions to fix it with a little elbow grease.
I have 2 new steering wheel covers for sale that I purchased while finding the right one for my truck.
Both are nice, but not was I was looking for....
Red- Artificial leather and perforated leather with red stitching.
Blue- Artificial Alcantra with blue top stripe and stitching.
$30 Each...
I have a N.I.P. Eagle 1 Auto folding mirror module that I bought and never used. It is all new and sealed in the packaging. This will auto fold your mirrors when you lock and unlock your truck or turn on the ignition.
This only works with existing powered mirrors and does not turn Manual...
I am hoping that someone makes a kit someday... The noise from the clutch fan is sooo annoying.
RCMUSTANG did a one off set up on his... so it IS Possible!
Check it out...

The mess I pulled out of mine yesterday smelled sooo nasty.... My truck still smelled this morning and I just finished washing out between the bed and cab and cleaning the bed after pulling the sound deadener material through the small holes in the bed.
STUPID Things like this really make me want to kick some engineer in the nads.... Over n over.
Who in their right mind with any common sense would think this is a good idea......
I totally forgot about this until the thread got bumped. I just went and looked between my cab and bed and it is packed! The last time I looked back there was 2 years ago. ugh.
