Ok, thanks for the response.

Just curious, you make a comment about the windshields on the trucks. We have two F350 trucks that we seem to have the same thing happening with. We also have an Expedition that does have the same problem, although I have changed out the wiper blades from ford to Bosch, and am wondering if this has made a difference. I think I probably will have the wiper blades changed out on the Edge once the windshield is better. We do have good insurance but I don't think it is bad enough yet to get a replacement, especially since it was changed one time before for a deep scratch. That's why I feel it may be the wiper arms that are doing it. Thanks, Cindy

Thank you, I think I probably will do this, I certainly don't want a mess by trying this ourselves.

I have noticed for the second time a etched or scratched mark on my 2008 Limited Edge. The first time the dealership replaced the windshield because if was visually scratched from the wiper blade and it was still the original blade. This time I have noticed another mark on the windshield not quite as deep as the other time. When looking at the wiper blade, it looks like it should not be scratching. The rubber part is clearly in the blade holder with no metal part touching the windshield. I am not sure what to do now, unless I take it to a glass place and see if they can buff it out. Has anyone else had this problem with the factory wiper blades? I am close to changing them to another kind. My warranty is up this December but I doubt that they would replace the windshield a second time. Help anyone.

Sorry I finally got a chance to get on this and add what I found out on the sunroof. I took it to the dealer and they had to take the headliner and glass out. When I went in, the sun shield was also acting up and when you tried to open it, it got really jerky. They took everything out and on the repair sheet, they said they replaced a certain part but didn't reference what it was. Put everything back, greased the tracks and also initialized it. Not sure just initialization would have taken care of the problem. Since it was still under warranty, I figured I would let them repair it. If it were to happen again out of warranty, I will certainly try the initialization instruction on this topic. I have to add though that my sunroof had been getting slower and slower at the final closing so I think it was a problem that had been going on for a time and just finally got much worse. It closes now like it did when it was new. I have a 2008 Edge Limited. Thanks everybody for your help.

I don't know anything about the 2009 but I have a 2008 edge and I notice the air flow is really bad too. I usually end up running my on full fan. I do notice that if you change on the selector to dash board only or feet only it works better, but when you have it on both it just doesn't do much. I thought they had changed that for 2009 because they had so many complaint about it in the 2007 and 2008, obviously they didn't. I have also read in posts that if you aren't using a certain vent to close it and it might help the air flow, I haven't really tried that yet.

I will and also in looking through the forum I found some good information regarding initialization of the roof. I printed it off but just in case I have a problem I would like to see it fixed before the warranty is up, but the step by step instructions sound very informative. I found them under searching Vista Roof Problems. I'll post back to this after I have a solution.

I just started having the same problem with my roof. I have a 2008 Edge with the warranty up in December. I close it and it too stops about that far from closing and then it jumps back about an inch on its own. Each time I push it and hold the button to close the final time, it goes so far and jumps back. I have been noticing that it has seemed to close slower than it was. I called the dealer this morning and am taking it in tomorrow. He told me that lots of times they just need to be sincronized again so we will see. Up until now I have had no problems with it and have had it almost 3 years. Hopefully they will fix it.

Yes, I am still interested as I just got another flyer in the mail saying they have out a new DVD. I am not sure I quite understand your message though. What does packed file in the world wide web mean? Very curious as to how to acquire the new DVD as I am not planning on spending the money that they say they cost. Thanks for your info.

I have an 08 Limited and it has the back up sensors. I do really like them but you still have to be careful. A camera would have been great but wasn't offered.

I am going off the computer. I do change it everytime I fill it up. I have also heard that you should reset it everytime you drive but I haven't done that. If I have been on a long drive I would prefer to see it start out high mileage rather than start out low and stay there, just a way of not letting it bother me as much.

No problem. I did notice in another post here that they are talking about putting Ethanol in the fuel in California. We already have that here in Oregon and have ever since I have had the Edge. I wonder if that could be part of it. I am going into the dealership tomorrow for a couple of things. Would it be worth it to mention the gas mileage or do you think they will just tell me it isn't broke in. I have about 7200 miles on it now. I would love to figure out how to get better mileage. I do get better when I am driving on the freeway for some time such as to the dealership which is about 25 miles from my home. Thanks for any imput from anyone.

This is the answer from #6. No I don't use the auto because I had read in another thread that that does cause the mileage to go down. I realistically only have about 7500 miles on it. Is is possible that it isn't broke in? Would love to find out what I could do to up the mileage. Otherwise I love the vehicle. Thanks

I have a 2008 Limited Edge and have been disappointed with the gas mileage. It sounds like your driving is similar to mine. I only drive about 4 miles to work and usually my errands are not a lot more. My mileage seems to stay around 12-13 with that driving. However, when I have driven further such as to McMinnville or Salem, I have gotten up to 24 miles to the gallon. I have just figured that I am probably killing my gas mileage with my short driving. That's the only thing I am disappointed with in the Edge. We bought it to replace a gas guzzling Expedition. I am sorry to say thought, it only get probably 3 to 4 miles a gallon more than the Expedition on the short drives. Good luck and if you hear anything that helps, I would love to hear about it.

Cute dog. :happy feet: [ quote name=KMAN' date='Jun 17 2009, 11:38 PM' post='28339] Got both boxes in the mail a day apart they look great in the Edge. A bit slippery but my Dog like them

My son has one of the invisible shields on his Iphone. Will you let us know how it works, I was thinking the same thing might work. I too have a small reading glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth that I clean mine off with too. It just doesn't last long enough so maybe the invisible shield might work. Hopefully it is the answer. Thanks

Sorry I always forget to proof and end up with messed up words. Of course I meant wax, not was.

I have a black edge and used the THX was on it. When wiping it off with micro fiber towels, it looked streaky. After waxing it we had to use a spray detailer to get it to look better. Is it harder to use on black or did I leave it on too long? I have read that this is the best wax and actually asked at a car show and that's what they told me. I not sure I want to use it again and it really turned out to be a lot of work. We live on a well but we bought one of those filters just for washing cars. Before getting the filter, you couldn't dry the car off fast enough to prevent spots. Fortunately I have always used the filter on the Edge. Thanks for the hints.

No I haven't checked with anyone yet. I just noticed it last night but probably will go talk to a glass place. Just wanted to see if there was something else I could try first. Thanks

Would appreciate anybody's help on this one. Last night I was washing my 08 Limited Edge when I noticed what I thought was just a streak on the windshield. In looking closer it appears to be a scratch but not a deep one. We looked at the wiper blade and the rubber had come out at the tip of the blade and the metal was hitting the windshield. I would like to try buffing it out myself but wasn't sure what to use. I know from looking on the internet that if it is deep enough to put your fingernail in, it's too deep to buff and would have to be replaced. I dont' think it was doing it too long, but it doesn't appear to be that deep. This forum is so great for information that I decided to turn to all of you for help. Thanks

No we do have a Walmart, I didn't know that is who you were referring to as Wally World. I'll try that, thanks.

Sounds like a job. Do you think this would create a lot of swirl marks in the black paint? I didn't know if you would still use the clay bar on a car that new, but if it works that good, I'll try it. Thanks

Thanks. I have regular Goo Gone that is a yellow liquid. Is that the same thing? We don't have a Wally World in Oregon that I know off. I suppose I could just google it. I don't want to use the regular Goo Gone if it isn't the same thing.

I have a question for anyone. I have an 08 Black Edge, possibly the last black vehicle I will own. I have used the Tech 2.0 was on it too and love how it looks. After a hard winter I have noticed some roughness along the lower sides, I assume could be tar or road grime. It didn't come off when I washed it and it's too cold to wax where I live yet. Any suggestions on what I should use to clean it. I have heard of the clay bar but know nothing of how it works or what it does. I just don't want to scratch the paint, which is almost impossible even in drying the car. Thanks for the info.

I with you on this one. I always park away from other cars. I also have a 1998 Expedition and have done this with it since I have had it. The only dent it had was at the dearlership getting service but I couldn't prove it but it was able to be taken out by those dent remover people (Press A Dent). I now have a black Edge and am very careful where I put it too. On the car wash thing, I would never think of going through those car washes, I think you're just asking for trouble. I 'll drive a dirty car first.
