I was trolling around Youtube and came across this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ynGWxzJHjA. He recommends BG 44K Fuel System Cleaner to clean the system andChevron 65740 Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner to prevent build up. I sort of think most of this is snake oil, but he makes good points. Anything to allow my 2.7 turbo to run better and not damage things is what I am after. Any one use this stuff?

I finally got around to really cleaning my windshield and rear hatch windows. I too had the same film on the inside of the windows which did not want to come off. I ended up taking a sponge with some dish washing liquid on it. I wiped each section a number of times, then dried with a cotton type cloth. I then went over it with some glass cleaner (Meguiars NXT stuff I had laying around). I sprayed the glass cleaner on then removed it with a microfiber cloth. I then went back over with a clean and dry microfiber cloth to remove any residue. Seemed to work for me. Just using glass cleaner really didn't help until I used the dish soap with sponge.

Ultimate Compoud is actually not too aggressive but I agree, try the least aggressive first. Here is another article, http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/how-articles/29134-how-remove-water-spots-hand.html

You can use Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. It is fairly inexpensive $10 or so. Should do the trick and easy to find at Target or Walmart. I have some Meguiars Water Spot Remover which, I am told, is similar to the Ultimate Compound. I also think you can use it on water spots on glass. I am not sure vinegar would work easily, but I have not tried it. Also, I had water spots and a clay bar did nothing to remove them. Maybe it was too fine, but it was a Meguiar's kit.

Nice! Would you be able to post a picture? I like seeing how these turn out. -
Weathertech Cargo Mat Available!
tron1974 replied to ScooterS's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
That looks awesome. I will be picking one of these up at some point. I am currently using an old cargo mat from a Sub Forrester that my mom was throwing out. Certainty not a custom fit. I will also take a look at the Ford OEM version to see how that looks. A little off topic, my Weathertech front mats arrived and they fit perfect. My only really small gripe is that I wish the foot rest was a little taller (like 2 inches). I can see snow potentially getting behind it. -

Weathertech Cargo Mat Available!
tron1974 replied to ScooterS's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
Cabela's has these mats also. I also noticed there is a deal on eBay to purchase $50 giftcards for $40, saving a little bit. Hopefully, the link is allowed, it not my listing or anything. Cabela's Gift Card I bought 2 cards yesterday, fingers crossed they show up. -
Thanks for the reply. I ended up buying the green ONR because it was only a couple bucks more. I will probably buy the regular ONR next time. I want to get a good paint sealant. I was thinking one of the Chemical Guys products like M-Seal. Amazon seems to have all kinds of coupons lately on CG products so I was waiting for one on one of their paint sealants. I might pick up a bottle of Duragloss to try it, since it seems pretty cheap. My auto care products collection is growing each time I learn more...

I think potential issues like this will lead me to buy the an extended warranty from Ford. I wonder which dealer can give me the best price.

Found "Sport Mode" this morning....

I haven't noticed any real torque steer with the AWD system. Front wheel drive, I can imagine. -
Found "Sport Mode" this morning....
tron1974 replied to WingNut's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
It's funny you posted this. I "discovered" this week that unless I want to drive super smooth with the wife and kid, I leave it in sport mode. I figured, heck, I bought a sport, might as well use it. Not sure it will help the MPG, but I am not too concerned. -
What did you own before buying your 2015 Edge?
tron1974 replied to Chipster's topic in Buying, Leasing & Ordering
I had a 2005 Nissan Xterra with a 6 sp MT. I do miss the manual transmission but the wife couldn't drive it and needed something a tad bigger in the back seat. -
I found this line curious... "It's interesting to note that vehicles that do have evidence of water damage after the three-day procedure may qualify for a buy back. Customers would need to work through their customer service rep on the details." Why would they buy back vehicles with no water damage. Wonder what is the criteria? I think @WingNut should investigate.

I can tell you, it is a bit of a pain to get to. It's under the air filter assembly. I can sort of reach it, but there is no way I could get enough leverage to push it back on then enough room to tighten the clamp. If this happens to me again, I will just let the dealer handle it again. With my luck I would lose bolts or forget something. So far, it's been good since I took it in last time.

There is no TSB. You should be able to take it in and they can put the hose back on and tighten the clamp. It's pretty easy to fix.

2015 Edge Sport Towing
tron1974 replied to built2prfctn's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
Dang, that looks pretty darn good! Maybe I will check out UHaul. Can I ask how much it set you back? -
To clean the wheels I use Sonax Wheel Cleaner. Stuff works great. I also put a coat of wax on the wheels. I think it helps a little to keep it clean. We get a ton of salt on our roads in the winter and and trying to make sure the wheels do not get corroded is difficult no matter how much I can clean them.

Ford Cargo Mat vs. WeatherTech or Other Cargo Mats
tron1974 replied to wtxd's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
I was really disappointed with the all weather mats that I ordered with my Edge. I am not sure there is much protection for the front. I will be getting either some Weathertech or Husky liners for the winter. I need to also get a cargo liner. I am using an old liner from a Subaru someone gave me. Sorta works but not custom. -
Maybe I will talk to my salesman. I will see him Thursday evening and get his opinion. Overall, I still love my vehicle. I knew I would have a few first year issues. I've been fortunate, nothing serious so far.

Has anyone noticed how some of the trim does not fit too well around the rear windows and driver side headliner. It seems the headliner is a little small and cut too small on the driver side. I tried to fit it back but it's too small and keeps popping out of the black trim.I am thinking I could get some two sided tape and try and tack it up where it is supposed to be. Also, the rear window trim looks like it does not fit well. I can push the black trim in. See the pictures for what I mean. Passenger Side Rear Window: Driver Side Window:
