  1. I would like to dump the chrome clad 18's on my wife's 07 Edge and get something else. I see the 18" Fusion wheels fit,but was wondering which other Ford wheel or any other manufacturers wheels will fit. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  2. My wife's 07 SEL has the navigation package and I was wondering how to check which version she has. After 3+yrs I would maybe like to upgrade to a newer version. Any help is appreciated.
  3. Try Black Again...got it from AutoGeek.net. used it on the bottom trim 3 weeks ago and it still looks as if I did it yesterday,less than $10.
  4. IMy wife has an 07 SEL Edge and I have a black area on the console lid where you would rest your arm while driving.st I thought it was maybe dye transfer from her leather coat from the winter,but I've tried everything I have(diluted simple green,Meguiars APC,Lexol vinyl cleaner)and nothing seems to take this stain out. I think the lid is molded in black and painted to match the inerior(she has medium stone). Any help in removing this stain(if it's possible) is greatly appreciated.
  5. ASA JH8(silver,machined lip,20X9)with Goodyear Fortera tires(275-45-20). Combo has roughly 7500 miles on them and rotated every 5K. Used only in summer. Cost $1650,selling for $1000. Can deliver within 100 miles of 49085.
  6. I scratched the emblem on my wife's 07 Edge and was wondering how hard to switch to a new one. I'm assuming the trim panel on the liftgate has to come off and I don't know if it's worth all the hassle and possibly creating a rattle where there isn't one now. Any help is appreciated.
  7. Creme brulee with tan int. all options including navigation,tow pkg,vista roof. have had 18" chrome wheels replaced last fall due to pitting. just under 14,000 miles. Mobil 1 from the get go. near mint condition. located in sw lower Michigan. Asking $25K.
  8. I use Mother's clay bar to clean the paint,Meguiars NXT2.0, then 4Star's UPP...talk about a deep wet shine...even on my wifes creme brulee Edge,which doesn't have much color depth to it..but it still "pops" in the sunlight. Just my .02
  9. Thanks for the reply...I did look in the manual after I posted.
  10. I am getting ready to switch my summer tire/wheel combo back to stock and was wondering what is the spec for torquing the lugnuts. Thanks in advance.
  11. I'm a big fan of 4Star Ultimate Paint Protection and Pinnacle Souverain carnuba wax. I have a Creme Brulee Edge and while it's kind of hard to tell shine or reflection on this light color,these two products really seem to make the color "pop" in the sunlight. I also have a White Diamond Pearl Acura TL and you can really see the pearl in this color with these products. Just my .02.
  12. Guess what?? I'm back to the dealer for the 4th time for this stupid trim piece. This is absolutely ridiculous...I think I need a new roof or a new car.....and I told my wife NOT to buy another FORD...
  13. My wife's 07 Edge is in the shop for the 3rd time because the black plastic trim ring around the moonroof in the back(rear seat area)keeps coming loose. The dealer has tried the TSB that was issued last year,but it still comes loose. It's really annoying when the shade is fully closed,I assume there is nothing to press against the trim ring when the shade is closed,when open,not a peep. He tells me the sun must be heating the glue or what ever adhesive they're using to attch the panel. This is getting very annoying. Anyone else have this problem(that continues after repeated trips to the dealer)? Anyone have a fix-it and FORGET IT solution? Any help here is greatly appreciated.
  14. Welcome aboard as well...good to see another Michigander(St. Joseph...on the lake). Nice looking Edge.
  15. Here's my wife's with the same ASA JH8's(20x9),only in silver with Goodyear Forteras(275-45-20)
  16. Thanks for the replies...I knew someone would have the answer.
  17. My wife has inadvertinly swiped the top of the console lid with a ball point pen...what do I use to remove? I don't want to use anything that might harm the vinyl(I have the tan int color). Thanks in advance.
  18. I got my rims replaced last month with no questions asked..hopefully it won't happen after next winter.
  19. Thank you for your reply. I also think this tool is awesome. Thanks again.
  20. Just got my tool and it works great as well. One question tho...since my winter tires will be stored in the garage,along with the new sensors that I just set,will the old sensors affect the ones that I just set?
  21. Yes,the service manager didn't even hesitate to order new wheels. I said I might be back next year if the same thing happens,and he said I probably would be back if Ford doesn't get this problem solved.
  22. What is the recommended air pressure setting listed on the door jamb? I just got new wheels(20")and when I reset my sensors,I would like to have the correct pressure in them before I start.
  23. The only reason I'm considering painting them is because it might happen again next winter with new pieces,if the dealer agrees to replace them. I'm expecting that the new wheels I'm getting this week will do the same next winter if Ford hasn't done anything different in the way the wheels were processed originally.
