Ok guys I would like to remove my factory side roof rails but I cant seem to find a how to on doing so. I've read on the removal of the rubber strips to prepare to put on the side rails but not the reverse. Where do I start and if any pics are out there that would be great. I don't want to break anything I'd like to either resale them or trade them for the strips. Thanks Cruiser

Anyone have pics of taking the OEM side racks off? I hate mine and want to get rid of them. I have looked at them but don't know where to start. Sorry if I jack your thread.

I received my letter yesterday as well, just taking it in stride and hope for the best.

Thanks Cellbine your post just made up my mind to change out my nasty chrome grill for the primed grill after seeing how easy it is to do. Now just gotta buy it. Not sure if I want to leave the small accent chrome strip or not, need to think on that one some more. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to make the vid.

I have a 2013 SE and I hate the blind spot mirrors, they are so small they don't do any good. My daughter has a 2013 Escape and her blind spot mirrors seem almost twice the size of mine and have been wondering if I could swap the mirrors off a Escape. Does anybody know if that is possible.

Hell I'm kinda of interested in doing this. I have the side rails and will never put anything on top but am worried in roof leaks after the swap. How do the racks come off does anyone have pics in the removal of these and what one is left with after the new strips are installed?

Looks good! How did you get that little piece off. I've looked at doing something with mine, was thinking chrome but after your post (I too rest my hand on the shifter) I may pass on the chrome.

Welcome to the forum Tim

Thanks all for your input, like I said I have never had a FWD so I just never experienced anything like it. Thanks again Cruiser

Ok thanks Dingo for the fast response. I'll just have to be a little more prepared next time.

Ok guys I have never had or driven a FWD car until I bought my Edge in mid Jan. My question is, Is it common for the car to try and change lanes when you hammer the gas. I have only done this twice and both times it has pulled extremely hard to the right and it was very surprising and almost scary, mainly because I wasn't expecting it to do that. Is this common with FWD or should I have the dealer look at the car. My Edge is a 2013 SE w/3.5 Thanks Cruiser

Congrats and welcome to the forum

Wow big difference and they look great, nice find.

http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/11909-my-first-mod-daytime-brightlites/ I believe I posted the link to the post I did when I installed my lights, They are a little rich but I believe worth it. Everything I needed was in the kit along with a very good set of instructions. Everything was very straight forward and simple, it followed the KISS moto (Keep It Simple Stupid) Hope this helps

Welcome to the forum and nice buy

Nick thank you for your service! Welcome to the forum and great buy, I too have a SE and bought the lights from KC300c is business is DayTime BriteLights he advertises on the site. Here's before and after with my lights installed.

congrats to you and the wife, he's a good looking kid

I have the same icon on my 13 SE and I don't have drl's Next time I drive it I'll snap a pic but its the same as ON THE FENCE pic, we have been getting large amount of snow here lately and it's been sitting in the garage and been using the 4x4 to get around

Love the look. I have been looking at going with black wheels as well. I have the same color edge but just haven't pulled the trigger on a set yet.

My 13 SE doesn't have the wood look it's a stock carbon fiber look. Will the 13 interchange with the 11?

Both sets of tires are going to require TPMS. They are located inside the tire attached to the rim. To change them you would have to dismount the tire.

Keep us posted on the install and good pics before, during and after. I'm starting to like them more and more.

I normally don't do the extra stuff but I did with this one just because of all the new electronics and the way repair bills have gotten to be so I opted for the 84 month or 125,000 mile coverage Premium Care. First one I ever bought and it took me several hours to decide about it.

Well then at least I know I don't have bad switches LOL Thanks for replying. Maybe someone will know why Ford doesn't make these light up.

Congrats from a fellow 13 SE owner and welcome to the forum.
