bare roof rails are factory install only. I'm guessing there's a fair amount of internal installation that once the roof is put together you can't get to. I have the Yakima rack system with the core bars on my non-sunroof 2015 sport. Have used it summer and winter for carrying all assortment of items and have no problems. There's no metal-on-metal with the install, and the rubber mounting surfaces haven't scratched or marred anything.

some nice runs being posted! Who's first to 12.9?

Its *way* back there, real pita to get to. Theres a thread on here somwhere about getting to it and good options for which circuit to tap for accesories like ams and radar detectors.

Nice, I've been waiting to pull the trigger on this. Have been looking at the Kenwood XR600-dsp. How do you like the Audison?

Might be *now*, but fast forward 5 years to when somebody is searching for red fluid leak for the used 2017 Edge they bought.

average 20-22: 50% highway, 25% stop-n-go highway, 25% city. will get around 25-26 on pure open highway/roadtrip

If you're asking now you bought the wrong car. There are a lot of (majority of ?) 2015+ Edge's that are tubocharged vehicles from the factory with either the 2.0 turbo standard or 2.7 sport option.

Nice! Looking forward to a write-up on the install

I would assume flashing the ecu does reset it.

yeah, all is well in the end, just wish I had seen the issue first. The piece to fix the car was $8 for the new plug to the map sensor, billed labor was $540 which seems crazy. I know it only took the shop about 30 minutes to do since I had inspected the car with the tech at about 3pm and they hadn't even gotten the part in yet, but had a message on my phone the next day at 8am that the car was ready for pickup. :/ so billed 1 hour @ $135 for diagnosis and 3 more hours for repair. I know that's how it works when they just go by what's listed in the labor guide, but doesn't make it hurt any less

Update on the edge, turned out drivetrain was fine, so that's good When I had the initial issues I pulled the codes and had a code for map sensor come up. I thought that didn't make any sense since the car was shifting awkwardly into D and R and wouldn't drive forward when in gear. I've had plenty of turbo cars, and had map sensors on all of them freak out at some point (80's turbo-dodge's, so every part broke on those at some point ) but had never seen a faulty map sensor completely disable the vehicle from a mechanical standpoint. Got it to the dealer. Service tech pops the engine cover and finds that a critter had gotten up there and chewed some wires. Guess which ones. If you said map sensor than you are correct. With the sensor disconnected it threw the computer into limp mode, which was pretty obvious from the low idle and warning lights, but then he said the reason it wouldn't go forward was because when you put it in drive the transmission drops into 5th gear (?). That was a new one for me, not sure why you would want that 'feature' in limp mode. If I had followed up on my initial diagnosis I would have found the issue and been able to fix the wires, but didn't look at the map sensor since it didn't seem to make any sense. Bottom line, trust your gut when diagnosing cars . I had even started to check the map voltage via torque app and my OBD-II adapter, but the Bluetooth wasn't working right and I gave up too soon because I thought I was chasing ghost symptoms. Once step after that I would have seen 0 voltage on the sensor and checked it out anyway just to see what was up. Cost to fix at the dealer was a few hundred bucks for time and materials, but probably could have done it myself pretty quick and easy. Tech was able to do a quick fix with a couple pieces of electrical tape to drive and park on their lot while they ordered a new harnesses plug for the sensor. Tech said he's been having several vehicles a week with rodent issues this winter, which he said was way more than they normally see. -SJ

just bolt some of these in there, it'll be fine... :

Definitely had all the warning lights go off. Service wrench and check engine light immediately following the initial clunk sound. I checked for codes and didn't get anything of note. Prior to that no lights or driveability issues. Something went from fully functional to broke in one pop. Strange it happened at idle from cold start, seems like in general drivetrain issues would happen under load or while driving. Will report back with what the dealer says

Started up my 2015 Edge Sport yesterday and after idling for about 15 seconds it quickly dropped from normal cold-start RPM to a low, little bit rough, idle. Service light came on and then felt a bit of a clunk and the car lurched forward about an inch. Shifts hard when going from P to R or D. Tentatively tried to back out of the garage, which seemed mostly okay, then put in D to pull in and Edge wouldn't move. Wouldn't roll backward but definitely would go forward with throttle. Turned it off an let it sit for a little bit, tried again and it slowly crept forward before giving up again, fortunately had enough momentum to coast into garage. Previous to this had zero symptoms of shifting poorly or drive-ability. Had just returned the previous weekend from a 800mile round trip drive and had no problems at all. At least it was convenient it broke at my house instead of out on the interstate Have an appt tomorrow with the service dept, but haven't seen many reports of issues like this on the 2015+ models. About 18K miles. -SJ

Definitely a difference having come from the Subaru world where you could get any type of aftermarket part you wanted, from a dozen different manufacturers, from the entire budget range. Every new model year that came out it was a mad dash by suppliers to be first to market with the goods I would love to see Ford push this platform a bit more to the enthusiast crowd. Plenty of folks like me who grew up with their turbo hatchbacks and now have more money to spend and family to haul around.

should be the black part inside the handle where your fingers would go. As long as the fob is with you touching the handle should unlock the door(s). Not sure if this can be disabled in the settings, but if it's not working that could be the case. The little lines are to lock the doors.

probably net about 2hp since I removed the ecoboost emblem

There's a lot of them on ebay also. I got one for $5

Nice install. I've been looking at the low profile JL's to retain the spare tire. Any plans to move beyond just sub upgrade? SJ

lol. yeah, I guess. Doesn't exactly scream 'clean look' Wonder if you can dealer order a plain visor. I'm assuming they slap the stickers on there post vehicle assembly... (?) edit: strike that thought, the visor with the integrated garage remote is $270 (!) https://secure.revolutionparts.com/levittown-ford/ford/edge/ft4z5804105eb/2015-year/sport-trim/2-7l-v6-gas-engine/body-cat/interior-trim-roof-scat/?part_name=visor&position=left

That's what I'm worried about. The sticker annoys me to no end (6'5", so anytime the visor is down there's a big yellow sticker in my face). But having a 'here's where the sticker used to be' glue spot on the visor just looks bad.

I'd like to remove the airbag sticker on the visor.The visor itself is covered in a fabric-like material, so that limits the liberal use of any goo-gone types of products since it would probably stain the fabric. Peeling at it comes off in tiny tiny pieces and starts stretching out the fabric. Haven't tried any heat yet, but figure that could leave a residue. -SJ

A few of us have wired radar detectors and dash cams to Delayed Accessory #23 ( http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/19282-access-passenger-compartment-fuse-panel/ ) I have my camera wired to that one and seems to work well. Power stays on a bit after the vehicle is turned off, but the power to that fuse does turn off at some point (either timed or when door is opened, can't remember) Of course getting to the fuse panel is an adventure in itself... -SJ

my guess is no insurance and suspended license, so essentially no consequence (from their perspective) for just driving off.
