I have the black roof rails on my Edge and while washing the car the other day I noticed both rails when you try to move them by hand they give a bit and I found that strange because to me they should have been rock solid. In addition, under the rails there is this black plastic strip which I think its there to cover the rails mounting bolts and is very loose but I cant find a way to lift it. I noticed that water collects there and I wonder if there is an easy way to remove the strip when I wash the car to dry out the water. Anyone has similar problems with these rails?

Thanks for the help thirdgenlxi

What kind of grease you can put on door hinges, cargo door and hood? Mine has nothing and I suspect if I dont put anything, pretty soon rust will develop which will lead to further problems

LOL Dingo......that came to my mind too.................

Thank you Haz, I gather that its not movable

Is there a way to remove the rear middle headrest on the Edge Limited? I remember reading a post here about it but cant locate that post

Hey thirdgenlxi, what can I say? In my mind leaving all doors open after a few seconds all lights should have been off. Anyway sorry again wasting your time Leaving the cargo door open, its not only to ventilate the cargo space but also convenience. Like I come home with the cargo full of groceries; takes time to unload and in between the phone rings or the kids cry or whatever you should not feel pressed to unload because the darn lights stay on. Then later on for example I remember that I should take something out the next day for repairs and so I take it and through it into the cargo area without bothering to open / close the door. There are many cases that I find it convenient to leave the cargo (trunk) open In any case, each one of us have their own way of doing things, nothing wrong whichever way we do them. My way is I prefer to leave the cargo door open without worrying that my battery will go dead. Perhaps I should change my habit because I love my Edge

Sorry for leaving out from my 1st post the info about the cargo door, thought was not important. Nothing is wrong with the way the lights are functioning now but as it was mentioned by WWWPerfA_ZN0W it would have been better if there was a user setting to control / adjust the ON/OFF function. How many of us do work on their vehicle and are in the same situation? And I don’t mind to disconnect the battery if I was going to do a lengthy work but doing that it means the vehicle will have to learn again its settings and was trying to avoid that. That’s another reason Ford should provide a user setting for the ON/OFF function of all interior lights. To my opinion, rolling the windows down and keeping the doors closed provides good ventilation but not enough especially in the spare tire area.

Lucky you guys cause its a nice option to have I wouldn't give up though, later I will have a look to see what's involved to modify the seat myself. Can't say that I will be able to do so but at least I will give it a darn good try

The dealer was very nice and replaced my wippers free of charge Another BIG PLUS to Ford

So its my mistake because I read again the brochure I got from the dealer before purchasing the Edge and it says only the Sport model with 6 way power passenger seat has the folding seat. Somehow I had the impression that the Limited also had this option which is wrong Asking the dealer the cost to change the passenger seat to a folding one, we are talking about $3,000 minimum !!! Very disappointed but it was my mistake and I got to live with it

Well what happened is that I was leaving my cargo door open also and the dealer says that if the cargo door stays open the interior lights stay ON. When I went back to my garage and tried out with the cargo door closed, all lights went OFF in a matter of seconds Since my garage is heated, I have the habit of leaving all windows and the cargo door open to ventilate the interior properly. I still believe that its not right this setting. I mean when the cargo door is open the lights will go OFF in 10 minutes due to battery saver but then if I open / close a door later the lights will also go OFF in 10 minutes because the cargo door is open. Perhaps later I will find a solution to control all interior lights the way I want

Thanks Haz, guess I'm out of luck

You are right

Thanks Haz, I have the same page so it must be something wrong with my settings

Holy sheeeeet right on man, 10 min way too long and cant find any setting for that. And since I got the truck last Thursday I open the doors often to check / lern stuff and now dont want to do that cause the battery may go down. Will ask the dealer tomorrow AM

Every time I open and close a door, the interior lamps, parking lamps and puddle lamps illuminate for about 10 minutes. I find this excessive and I wonder if there is a setting somewhere that I can adjust it to about 3 or 5 minutes

Hhmmm, no handle on mine. Will check with the dealer Monday. Real downer if I dont have it cause I often transport 8 feet long lumber

But still a pain............

I thought the front passenger seat was folding on all Edge Limited but today I had to transport some 8 feet long moldings and to my surprise I could not find anything on that seat which will fold its back Do I miss something?

Has anyone found the windshield / wipers oily on your new Edge? I cleaned the windshield / wipers with vinegar / Windex but the wipers still leave a grease film behind Is this from Ford because they handle the wipers with dirty hands or from the dealer?

Thanks Is973800, very good info

Cant find this link, anyone knows where it is?

Had my previous Passat with beige letherette interior for 12 years and never had a problem keeping the interior clean. I also have a Shih-Tzu (11Lbs dog) which after a walk I let her in and she has the habbit going all over the seats. When its wet outside, I wipe off her paws but still the seats get dirty and once a month or so I just clean the seats with a wet cloth and they are like new again. I love light interior but its a matter of taste

Finally got my new ride yesterday, what an amazing car. Had 4 km on the odometer but we had a snow storm here and didn’t have a chance to enjoy her more. Today drove about 50 km and I'm very happy so far. Lots of reading to find out about all the gadgets. Kind of disappointed that the glove compartment does not have a light but not a big deal as I will add one later same for the prop rod which I will replace with hood struts. Attached are some pictures, sorry but not enough space in my garage to take some shots of the front / back
