Rear bumper alignment - 2016 Edge Sport


Burrcold

Recommended Posts

Picked up my Edge Sport this past weekend and everything has been great! I looked over the vehicle with a fine tooth comb and was very impressed with the fit and finish (I've owned many luxury brands and this being my first domestic vehicle I am truly surprised!). Anyways, the only issue I found was the rear bumper alignment and the rear light (almost looks like it was bumped but the dealer assured me it was not). Is this panel a common problem or is this something I should even bother bringing to the dealers attention? I know sometimes they fix one thing and end up f'ing up something else.

Yes the line between the rear bumper panel and rear quarter panel. The gap is not consistent as it moves down the panel (starts off okay but tapers off to no gap where the panels basically touch). Also if you look at the light it looks like it should be shifted up a few mm. There is a small gap above the light (no gap on the driver's side).

Again I know I'm nit picking but I just wanted to know if this is usual with these cars or if I should bother to bring it in.

Every single 15+ edge I've seen has misaligned body panels, which is sad. If the gap is super bad then sure you should take it to the dealer (pray they don't break clips), or if you know how adjust the panel yourself. I removed my rear bumper for another purpose and when I put it back on it the gaps were much closer and aligned. Its up too you, if it bothers you then perhaps get the dealer to look at it, but if there is a big chance they could break something then just dont bother.

if you're talking about the line before where the 2 panels meet, then no. mine has it too. mine had issues with all 4 doors trim pieces around the windows also

I was wondering if you took the car back to dealer and requested for fixing it. My car has those nasty misalignments especially rear left doors have it and it does not look nice. I'm thinking what to do about it. We bought the car 4 months ago.
