donaldy Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 My 2015 Edge has entered it’s first rainy season. When parked flat, or facing up hill it does not leak. However I back in to my 25 degree sloped driveway and water pours in the center of the roof at the location of the dome light switch/panoramic roof controllers. Fortunately I found it early and was able to put down a blanket to absorb the initial run off. The dealer had it for a week and took it completely apart and thought that the leak was near the rear of the roof and when facing downhill it ran to the roof center console area. Unfortunately the dealers efforts did not solve the problem as it still leaks under those circumstances. Anyone else had this issue? There are lots leaks reported, but few regarding the roof. The dealer suggested it was a 'sheet metal' problem and leaked into the roof area even if not parked downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Just a guess, the roof drain is at the back. When level or front raised, the water run to the back of the roof and drains. When backing in with rear elevated, the water runs forward away from drain, overflows the metal damn and into to inner roof.

donaldy Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Sounds like that is what is happening. Isn't there a drain at the front? Seems like that should have been obvious to the dealership if that is the case. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazykanuck Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I have this exact same problem w/my 2013 Limited. We had a heavy rain fall last night and I found a small puddle of water in my two cup holders this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermans Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I had a 2010 Fusion with the moon roof. It also leaked in the same spot when I had the car backed into the drive. It never leaked when the car was pointed up hill. Both of the drain holes were plugged. I fixed it by blowing compressed air (can of computer cleaner). The car was under a year old at the time. Every 6 months or so I continued to blow air down the holes. If you want to check this out just pour water in the track and see if it comes out the tubes that drain under the car near the rear....both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson3703 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Has anyone found a solution to this problem on the Edge? I have looked for clogged drain wholes on the front corners but can't see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
