Does anyone know what FORD's "remedy" is to improving these very expensive "hubcaps"? Hopefully they did some testing in some Northern states in the winter this time around. It's almost embarrassing driving the Edge with these rims. The car looks spotless, but those rims look like something off a 20 year old vehicle that was never maintained. Aside from the corrosion around the outer lip of all 4 rims, the "tarnishing" of the chrome is nothing new to FORD. I remember the same thing happening to the center "chrome" caps on my 1997 & 2000 F-150 trucks. I hope the new batch of rims fix the problem because I don't want to be going through this problem every spring!! BTW, I'm in Michigan.....and yes, I do keep my car washed throughout the winter.

Thanks for the info. I noticed that you have the 2008 model, I have a 2007 and nowhere in my manual does it refer to a "Courtesy Wipe". I guess Ford (even though they have had this feature going back to the 2000 Focus as stated) must of realized the omission in the 2007 manual and added it for 2008.

Just wondering if anyone elses Edge does this.....after using the washer, the wipers go for 3 swipes, but when I think the swipe "cycle" is done, approx. 5 seconds later the wipers swipe one more time....not good on a dry windshield!!
