  1. Been really happy with the Husky Liners but the bend along each door sill was driving me crazy. Decided to do a little mod today to straighten them out. I cut one of those wooden paint stirring sticks down to about 5 inches and glued it to the outside of the Husky where it had the bend along the door sill. I used RTV sealent and clamped it down for about an hour. Straight as an arrow!!!!!
  2. No problem with V-leds here but, if ya know exactly what leds you're looking for, E-bay can save you a ton of green. I did a 2010 and 2011 Edge for around $18.00 each including the puddle lamps. I would guess that all these leds are made in the same Chinese factories.
  3. I had the same problem on my 2011 SEL. I spent 20 minutes trying to close the hood the first time I opened it!!!!! Real easy fix: Just loosen up the two or three latch screws and bring it up a little. Might be a good idea to mark the factory setting with a pencil just in case ya move it to much. The 2011 and up have a weather seal that fits really tight along the front edge of the hood. If ya don't trust your abilities, I would just run it over to the dealership and have them do it for ya.
  4. I always thought that Weathertech just rebranded the AVS/Lund ventvisors. I've always had good luck with the in-channel AVS models but never tried them on an Edge. AVS does have really good cusomer service.
  5. 2011 SEL with basic single disc stereo and no SYNC. I have the 3.5mm jack in the center console but no USB port. Could this be as simple as running a male to female USB cord from the back of the headunit to the center console?
  6. Yes, some of those guys do fantastic work. I've had lots of paintless ding repair jobs done over the years and the results have always been awesome. My guy charges $40.00 to $100.00 per ding/dent depending on how hard it is to get to the backside of the damage. Always let a paintless guy look at it before letting a body shop bondo-up and repaint your vehicle!!!!!!
  7. The H9 in place of the H11 low beam mod will give you an extra 750 lumens. Ya gotta trim the little tab in the H9 bulb socket. The extra low beam lumens made a big difference in my old 2010.
  8. KC, I'm still waiting for you to document a HID installation ! :D I really want to add HIDs to my 11 but I'm just not sure how durable these low-cost aftermarket kits are.
  9. I've looked and looked but just don't see anywhere to mount a set of lights on my 2011. KC made a cool little lightbar for the 10 and down but they have not listed one for the 11 yet. It may be possible to cut the lower black insert to mount a set of small lights. Would not look great but I would love to find a way to mount my set of PIAA's on the Edge.
  10. Takes about 15 minutes per side and yes, the 2011 factory speakers are the cheapest junkers I've ever seen. There are a few good threads on here about taking the door panels off. It's worth picking up a pair of the inexpensive aftermarket speaker harnesses so ya don't have to cut any wires. Infinity makes a few speakers with a tweeter that swivels which can make a huge difference in sound quality if you aim them properly. I just did the fronts cuz I don't like any highs coming from the rear.
  11. I put an old set of 6 1/2's (Infinity 652i) in the front doors of my 2011 without any problems.
  12. I've always handled trans fluid changes a little different then most. I drop the pan and do a filter change every 30,000 miles. In between filter changes, I suck out about 3 qts through the dipstick tube and replace with the same amount every 10,000 miles. This method has worked very well for me over the years and I've never had any trans problems with any of the many Fords I've owned. I never liked the idea of a complete fluid exchange without changing the filter.
  13. I went with 4 of these for the rear dome and cargo lights: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/42mm-2w-6500k-126-lumen-9-smd-led-white-light-bulb-for-car-dc-12v-51376 Four of these for the Map and plate: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-5-SMD-LED-T10-168-SUPER-WHITE-WEDGE-LIGHT-BULBS-5050-/330672310551?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4cfd9b0917 These worked really well for me but others have used different LEDs with good results. There are some great threads on here about led mods.
  14. I think one of the coolest mods you can do to the Edge is changing all the interior and plate bulbs to LED. Less then 20 smackers and lots of great info here about this easy mod.
  15. The Huskys do cover the dead pedal much better then the WTs. What I don't like about the Huskys is that they don't fit well along the door sills. They bow inward which can allow salt and snow to fall between the sill and liner.
  16. A small flat pair of flaps from your local autoparts store will look good and work very well. There are 2 factory screws in the perfect position for the fronts and the Edge really does not need rear flaps. Just trace the pattern of the flap on a piece of paper and mark the holes on the paper first. Flaps are around 6 bucks a set and it takes about 10 minutes to install them.
  17. You will get the LED light bars I get around 20-21 city and 24-26 highway ( I control the pedal for good MPG) My 2011 SEL came with a single CD which can play MP3 formatted discs I don't have SYNC but it's a cool option (wish I had the USB port)
  18. The puddles look really bright. I take it they fit without any trimming? It would be really easy for me to take mine back apart and slip in a set of 6 5050s instead of the current 4s I have. Probably gonna order a set of 6's a little later today.
  19. Well, had a chance to compare the Huskys to the Weather techs. The WTs fit and look way better. The Huskys fit OK and will do a very good job protecting the carpet so I'm gonna keep them unless I find a good deal on the WTs. I would also say that the Huskys are a great deal at less then half the price of the WTs.
  20. I would guess that Ford and other auto companys do have employees who's jobs are to watch forums such as this. They might not participate but their job is to look for potential issues and chart feedback about their products and services. Just a guess but it does make a lot of sense when you think about it.
  21. Those puddle lamp leds will be really bright but they might be to wide to fit. Hope they work for ya! I've got the same ones you ordered for my plate/maps and they are really nice. Make sure you let us know how those reverse leds work out. Did you order the festoons for the cargo light and rear dome yet? The ones I got from Dealextreme are awesome.
  22. Agree 100% on the fog lights!!! My 2011 could really use a dash storage compartment or at least a tray. Can't stand the hidden center console storage area!!!!!!!
  23. If it helps ya, I found that the smd 5050 leds are a decent amount brighter. Here's a link to the style I purchased. I purchased both types and compared them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-31mm-DE3022-DE3175-4-SMD-5050-LED-Bulb-Xenon-White-6428-6430-/260869112887?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item3cbd02c437
  24. I know some don't like the look of the roof rack rails on their Edges. Anyone have a set they removed and want to get rid of? I'm in Michigan.
  25. Not sure which product to use. I just watched the application video of the pre-cut one that Husky sells and it looks pretty easy to do. Gotta do a little more internet research still.
