Hi,

A wife here looking to purchase some parts for my Husband's marauder. His bday is coming up and not so sure where to go for the best deals.

I'm looking to purchase the windshield ( front ) to replace his as well as the front lights, the casing. I believe he has led's in the front but the outside shell is fogging up once it rains, he thinks there may be a crack in it where water leaks in .....

Let me know if anyone can help. :beer:

Thanks !!!

Welcome aboard. I would have a glass company replace the windshield and see if there is a place that will come to you to restore the headlamps.

Good luck and Welcome aboard.

As RoyL said ^^^, unless you have experience doing this, it's best to have a professional replace the windscreen. I have dealt with both SafeLite and J.N. Phillips and can recommend them.

As for the headlights fogging up, that's a fairly common issue with early-build MMs and won't necessarily be solved by replacing them. The best repair, if they're in good shape otherwise, is to take them out, dry them with a hairdryer (or other means), then seal the seam between the bucket and the lens with silicone.

Get a local reputable glass shop to replace the windshield.

As for the headlights, also check the seals behind the lights where the bulb and wiring go. You can get replacement headlights on eBay, search on "Mercury Marauder headlights". These maybe aftermarket but they are cheaper than originals.

he's lucky someone is happy to give him a hand, with his project, good luck, and happy birthday to him. Is he a member? Have him join, he will enjoy himself, and someone here lives just around the corner.
