I guess NO ONE gets worse millage than mine in city is about 20~23L/100KM (40L at pump, 178KM odo), so 10~11 MPG here. Any thoughts?

So far I've found and fixed rattle from three different area in my 07' SEL with BAMR. I hope these information can be helpful to anyone who bothering by those noise. 1. Rattling around rear sunroof area, caused by loosed hook&loop tape that holding rear sunroof ring/frame (whatever you call it). Fixed by CA glue or other thin but strong adhesives. TSB has this one listed too. 2. BAMR rattling, not very loud but you can tell it's there. Mine caused by dried sunroof aluminum/rubber rails, can be fixed by lube aluminum with white lithium grease and silicone spray the rubber rails. 3. Door ratting, can happen to all four doors, sometime you think the noise was from B pillar area or roof. Caused by dried door strike, any grease works but again white lithium grease works very well. We all love Edge especially when its noise free. :shades: ug.

Just want to report back, the noise JUST GONE!!! I silicone sprayed the all door strikes fixed the problem. I'll apply some white silicone grease tomorrow. :yahoo:

Lol, nice try http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4077490.html I think turn signal fluid is a joke, otherwise post a link from Wikipedia. And now, :backtotopic: :backtotopic: ug.

Muffler is secure, tire air pressure were adjusted by dealer at service. What is turn signal fluid? Never heard of it. ug.

So after 2 hours in the garage, noise is still there (somewhere). I lubed the all the seals around the windows, tight up the screws, nothing seems helps. Too bad I don't have someone can help to identify the source of noise, but at least I know the noise is NOT coming from the BAMR in my case. :do what: ug.

Nice to know I'm not alone. I've check the rear seatbelts but turned them around or locked into buckle didn't make any difference. My car was totally silent until it reached 8000KM. BAMR did made the noise sometime due to the loosed black plastic frame of rear moonroof, I fixed that by CA glued them. I'll check the screw of B pillar cover see if they were loosed. ug.

My Edge is about 12000 KM now, but I've found some rattle like noise around front roof/B pillar (aka central pillar) area at both sides (driver side is little worse) when I brake/turn or over speed bumps. I can't tell the exactly where the noise coming from and it's not like metal to metal kind rattle. Very annoying, very Korean-made-alike...... :banghead: Anyone else has same problem? ug. Oops,, can admin please move this thread to 'Interior' please. :-P

Glued it. That's how I fixed mine, just few drops of CA glue you will never have it come off again. :P

I think you mean 14~15L/100KM. IF you got 14-~15KM/L that's about 6~7L/100KM. :shades: Mine is 15~17L/100KM in city w/o A/C.

I don't have any problem driving AWD Edge in 1Ft deep snow in Banff, AB with stock tire early this year in our honeymoon trip. Wheel just never stuck at all. :D :D

SALEENS7, Have you seen anything like these at the wheel dealership?

This shoot just looks like Porsche Cayenne. :P

Wheel cleaner spray, you can get it from any auto part store/wal-mart. Never use anything contents polishing compounds on chrome wheel, they'll cause the damage. I use Orange Blast All-Wheel Cleaner, cheap but works like a charm. :D

I think those are cool, much better than having a car driving on a building. :D

Our chrome bars I believe is zinc coated ABS plastic which is softer than the rock piece/sand (density 1.0g/mL vs 2~5g/mL, same materiel used on 18" chrome wheel cover), especially when you hit them at high speed. Steel or Aluminum alloy certainly better(harder) than ABS in most case but they will be heavier and pricey, and you have to deal with the oxidization. I have the same thing on mine, I will try some waxing at next wash.

It looks cool but will also reduce your car's rear visibility. Taillights just as important as headlights, you need to mark yourself clearly in the dark or/and bad weather so others can see you. I think the LED taillights will probably be the 'Best Looking' resolution but you have to wait until something actually hits the market. :D

Thank you npggirl :happy feet: :happy feet:

K&N has HP-2009 for Edge, I'm getting this one for my next oil change. ^_^

Thank you. :hyper: Mine is SEL+ AWD, and I got some really bad MPG before I hit this trip, 100% city was 12.1MPG and never go over 13, I guess you can't get any lower than this. 50/50 was about 16MPG. I don't know if that bad MPG has anything to do with the 'break-in period' (dealer says 5000KM), since mine is about 6000KM now I hope I could see some gain (in Vancouver gas price is 1.20/L!!!). :happy feet:
