* Meguiar's or other brand clay bar -- for prepping the paint before applying wax (I recommend Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax, but that's just a personal preference.)

* Digital tire gauge -- for keeping your tires at the optimal pressure (improves gas mileage and tire wear/life.)

* Windshield sun shade -- for protecting the dash and front seats from the sun's rays when parked in your driveway, parking lots, etc.

* Aftermarket, high quality window tint (professionally installed, not do-it-yourself) -- optional. I still haven't done this to my Ford Escape Hybrid but, living in Texas, I need to.

*

3) fix the window rattle
4) fix the rear deck rattle when the bass is thumping

i have not got any rattles but was washing the back window this weekend and bumped the vent duct on the rear shelf and it had a rattle to it when bumped. this vent duct is to cool the battery pac in trunk. should not be too hard to find and insulate with felt or foam.



4) fix the rear deck rattle when the bass is thumping
