  1. And the vista roof is not a safety issue. Ford doesn't recall luxury items.
  2. The motor is not the issue. I have a 2010 , have owned it for 3 yes now and after approx 4 months of ownership my vista roof began slowing on close, it escalated to the point I needed to assist it shut then eventually it would stop. It is true, the motor does heat up. But the cause of this is the issue with the tracks being so long and binding occurs due to lack of lubrication and dirty components. I have never taken it to dealership because as you stated.. I already knew that dealerships don't make money for spending time trying to diagnose a known issue when they already know what is wrong and them charging you to lubricate tracks is only a bandaid . So I researched and found a video on how to clean and lube tracks. It worked ok. So I then decided I am going to take this thing apart and see how it works / how to fix it. I pulled glass removed the guides and the Teflon feet that slide in the tracks ... I cleaned all of thoroughly, the feet the tracks all of it! It is so much easier w the glass off. My roof has functioned fine. Yes it is a bit slower than when it was new but fords standard is a 12sec close and I am well under that. There is a video that is on YouTube made by bill trammel from Mact Ford Edge showing how to perform this MAINTANANCE. Procedure.
  3. Who is moving your seat that you need itvto remember?
  4. these things are tight for space...I have struggled since I purchased to find places to mount components. but as has alred ady been said..behind the bumper cover will probably be your best location for that item.
  5. this has been discussed in feww (ford edge world wide) on FB. i beleive a member had done something after he installed the magnaflow cAT back. but the dual tips def looks the best IMO
  6. First build ive done,Overall I am happy with the outcome.learned a lot for the next build.here are some pics..
  7. it didn't change the function of the dimmer switch. The leds are already white(exept for a couple like check engine etc etc..) you can choose whatever color you like.. as far as did it make them brighter?? The answer would be no
  8. the factory audiophile system that was in my 1st gen edge had a module that controlled sync as well as audio sound functions. would be unlikely that ford would put 4 seperate crossover devices in the doors...but the real focus is,,,no big deal for you!! since the mid range driver and the tweeter locations are both inside your door it will be an easy install for your new components using the crossover supplied with your new speakers!! your kind of lucky your tweeters are not in the pillars...have you ever looked at trying to run new wires through the bulk head in the doors???? not sure about your 2nd gen but it literally would require removing my doors to drill new holes.. total nightmare,, luckily for me when i did my audio system the factory wiring is set up for a compnent system..unlike the later models such as yours. hoping to see some pics of the project ongoing and finished sir.
  9. Congrats on the new ride sir! But it's either not a sport or it's not 2010. Post pics tho
  10. I highly doubt the 2 doors speakers are component. It is my assumption they are wired seperatly on their own channel. But I have been wrong before :-). Either way it will be simple to install your component speakers using the crossover. What components are you looking at buying, or have u already purchased?
  11. First , what trim package is your gen2? If you currently have a seperate mid range speaker in the door and a tweeter in the pillar I would absolutely utilize the crossover from a quality set of component speakers. Depending on your factory system more than likely your headunit is acting crossover
  12. I have 2010 3.5 running a custom tune from Torrie. 91 oct as 93 is not avail in Phx. Extremely happy with the purchase and customer service from unleashed. I am using live wire.
  13. you should do allignment post suspension work in any case..larger wheels included!
  14. I have 20" wheels , H&R springs. Had alignment done after install. No issues w alignment within oem specs. H&R designed these springs so that a camber kit is not necessary
  15. Sounds like it errored because your pcm was flashed possibly by the dealer while a custom file was resident. Therefore your stock file was lost.sct customer service is great! Call them during normal business hrs and they will help you with a file to flash back to stock.
  16. They are led. If you want bright u will have to remove the color from the insert. Look at the pics in the write up.
  17. The led's are already white and they are bright. To get the "brighter" light you are looking for you will need to follow 1/2 of the procedure I posted in my write up. Just don't paint at the end, you can leave the back of the gauge cover panel clear.. It will be extremely bright!! Good luck
  18. Not sure if you were asking me or someone else
