I work in oac paint quality control. every edge and mkx are checked for door paint. yes they are clearcoated. the inner areas are all hand painted

Are they being checked randomly only?. Well, I will bring my black Edge to the dealer this week as the paint on the door sills and door bottoms are thinner, thin as in, I could see the primer!. I have only discovered this issue when I was trying to fit in door sill protectors. I am not sure if this is acceptable by the Ford's quality standards.

Has anyone found seat covers for the Edge? I'd like to get one for the back seat.

I'd like to get one as well. One of the online store I have spoke with said they're working on it and will be available in about 6-8 weeks.

The sill protection is not a genuine ford part like the rest of the stuff. It was a roll of non-slip tape from Pep-Boys, although i am sure you could find the same stuff at various other car parts stores.

 

My "step" mother in law (wife's stepmom) is a bit short and when she tried to get into the back seat with heels on she was trying to edge herself in on anything that she could reach - it just happened to be the painted metal strip outside the plastic scuff pad in the doorframe. We were left with a couple of long scratches from her heels and felt it might happen again and looked around, but couldnt find anything specifically for it. This is the same type of stuff that you can trim and shape to fit various places where you need non-slip. The roll we bought was 4" wide and much longer than we'd ever need. As i said it is pretty close to the plastic inside the car, so it doesnt look too much out - however it doesnt have "edge" on or anything else like that. I should take some photos of various things i have been asked for, but i havent got any at the moment.

Thanks a lot sim! I will check it out if my local Kramer are selling similar non-slip tape.

 

Rear bumper scuff protection - a clear strip of protective material to prevent scuffs scratching up the paintwork. We got this in the package, it was a cinch to put in once you line up the pieces. The look is very nice, a little grip to it, certainly covers most of the bumper top. It also has Edge written across the center. With the three valleys between the 4 peaks of the textured part, it is possible to trap very small air bubbles. We are going to deflate those with a very fine needle. The other scuff protection we applied on the door sills matches the grain of the plastic on the doors and such as well as the shade of black used and somewhat the rear scuff protection strip, it just doesnt have Edge written on it, but i guess you cant have everything!

 

 

Hi Sim,

Where did you get your door sill protectors from if you dont mind me asking. Please can you post the link if there's any. Many thanks
