I was able to order the correct hood insulator for the 2019 ST this week and attach it today!

 

For master mechanics, such as myself, it took 6 minutes.  The rest of you should be able to do it under 5 minutes...it's that easy!

 

The clips are already attached...just hold up to the hood, and  "push and play".

 

I have enclosed a picture of the actual part # on the bag.

 

The engine has always been quiet, this pad absorbs some of the road noise and sounds closer to a Lincoln inside than before.

 

Cost is about $115 plus tax from your local dealer.

 

I received a Mustang Club discount plus they knew I was going install it myself.

 

Thanks

I already have something that looks like this on my edge st. Is this one different?

Looks similar to the AVS low profile window vent....just even lower and flows better from the lines on the mirror mount.  Pretty sharp!   Do share if you do get some info!

I picked up a set of AVS low profile since the look like they were the closest I could find online. I don't have them on the car yet but they look very similar, if not the same. I'll post pics after I install them, but I'm waiting for the weather to warm up since they are stick on.

It would also be great if this information was included in the spring replacement write up, if somebody has access to it. 15-18 Edge Sport Spring Replacement Instructions.docx

I think it should be noted that 2015 and up Edge do in fact have the ability for rear camber adjustment. I just learned this information from somebody on Facebook. It is not obvious that camber is adjustable when looking under the vehicle and doesn't seem to be widely known. I just got my Edge re-aligned, I had to show the tech where the camber adjustment was, and all numbers are within spec now, before this the rear camber was -3.0 and -2.0. 

The photo shows the location of the bolt, subframe side, and the elongated hole which allows the upper suspension arm to be adjusted in and out. 

Unfortunately that's not an option. I got the photo from Facebook and have asked over there as well.

So it occurred to me since the car wash I go to includes free vacuuming that I could use the vacuum to suck all of the excess water out of the mirrors. I've tried it a few times and so far it seems to be working good. No more water spot streaks down my doors! There's a seam under the mirrors where the plastic meets the metal which traps water and I have to vacuum that out too. It's an extra hassle to even have to do this but its better than the alternative.

I've been trying to figure out what brand these side window deflectors are, anybody know?

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope everything turns out alright for you and your family.

Yup that's the writeup I used. I did remove the wiper arms. Some say it's not necessary but I found it easier to get the plastic top tray off. Make sure you get the wiper arms put back on in the exact same position as they came off otherwise they try to wipe beyond the window (ask me how I know).

 

There has been a little settling in the 500 miles since the install, especially the rear. Maybe a 1/4" or so which makes it look even better. There is more rear camber now so the top of the tire tucks in just a tad. Fronts are fine. I'll be getting an alignment soon as I feel there is too much rear camber and am concerned about inner tire wear.

 

I have ordered custom 15mm wheel adapters using these measurements from Motorsport Tech. Very high quality and durability. Used them when I had my Mustang. 

 

I'll post some pics and measurements in a little while. It's too cold out right now.

Did you get the wheel adapters installed?

That looks great.  I can't bring myself to do it because I'm like an old man and want comfort.  Lol.  But man that looks great. 

I can understand prioritizing comfort. I'm not quite there yet. ? I love the way it looks and honestly, it could be 3/8" or 1/2" less drop than it is and it would still look really good. 

Just a quick update, after being lowered for a couple of weeks, I started hearing random popping sounds coming from the right front, then a day or two later the left side started doing the same thing. I thought something was seriously wrong so I pulled the front tires and inspected everything to make sure nothing was loose. Turns out everything was fine and after some research online I had a good idea that it was the springs rubbing against the rubber seat. So I spent a good three hours pulling the front struts again and putting some grease between the springs and rubber spring seat. It's been about a week and no more noises from the front. Turns out doing this was mentioned in the how-to guide as an optional item. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to it the first time. 

I forgot to mention, this time I picked up this oxygen sensor socket from Nothern tool to use on the 21mm nut on the top hat. Although I could only do about a quarter turn at a time It worked good.

The water drip issue is a huge pain. Just when I think the water is all drained from the mirrors and I've dried off the doors for the final time I'll come out an hour later and there will be a long water spot streak down the sides of the doors. The last thing I want to do is carry a leaf blower around with me every time I go to the car wash lol. Looking under the mirror I can see that most of the water is dripping from the seam where the plastic trim fits around the mirror. I am considering using some clear silicone to seal it up or maybe drill a small hole so it drains quicker.

I have a 2019 ST purchased in November.  When new I would have intermittent problems with the touch switch for locking/unlocking on the 2 rear doors.  After a few weeks it went away.  Today I am now experiencing the issue BMB had.  The only door switch working is the driver door for locking/unlocking.  Key fob locks and unlocks, interior switch works, and the keypad on the door panel all work.  Any suggestions?

 

Thank you.

Did you ever resolve this? My 19' Edge ST, which I purchased new, started doing the exact same thing after about 18 months of owing it. Only the driver's door consistently locks / unlocks with keyless touch. The other doors work intermittently, but most of the time do not work. Tonight I disconnected the positive terminal on the battery for about and hour and and after reconnecting it I tested the doors and they all work. Time will tell if it continues to work consistently.

Is that washer already on the vehicle or does it need to be added? Anybody tried this?

The alignment corrected both front and rear toe. The front camber was ok but the rear is out and still is, but not so bad that its a major issue as long as I keep tires rotated. Does anybody make adjustable rear camber arms for our vehicles?

Got the springs installed this weekend. I think it looks really good, (even with the snow tires) more street beast and less 4x4. Overall the install went good, the only issue was with the 21mm nut that holds the strut hat on. I had to find a way to hold the nut and turn the 10 mm on the shock. I ended up using a pair of needle nose vise grips. Thanks for all the info. I'm off to get an alignment done today.

Thanks for the tip about the wipers and the pics. The Edge looks a lot better lowered! How has the ride and handling been for you?

Awesome to hear that the install went well for you. I plan on installing my h&r springs next week and this is the write up I was going to use. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wQ3WRD6zvzHaAbxE3hCZpyKIwbBI3-Gs/view , from this thread https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/22579-hr-sport-springs-on-g2-edge-sport/?page=7  Is this the same one that you used, any issues or tips?

Also, can you post some pics from the side and front. I am curious how much the wheels/tires are tucked in due to lowering and if I'll need to use wheel spacers to compensate.

Good informative video. I just wanted to note that there is also a spot on the drivers side firewall, behind and below the battery to run the wire (battery must be removed). I have 1/0 gauge wire running through it to the back. It is important to note that you want to have protection around the wire as it goes through the firewall. I put a hole through the middle of the existing grommet. If the amp wire is laying against the metal hole through the firewall, it could overtime wear through the wire's shielding and eventually come into contact with the metal. This also brings up the importance of making sure the amp wire is properly fused.  I have an extensive audio build log over on diymobileaudio.com for those that may be interested. https://www.diymobileaudio.com/threads/2019-ford-edge-st-build.417123/

I filled up with 93 octane and installed the LMS performance tune for the first time yesterday and Wow! The ST just wants to go, the traction control light is always flashing and I'm hardly pushing it.

The day is near. I'm just waiting for Livernois to send me the performance tune so I can upload it. ?

Who have you submitted it to? Are you looking to get royalties. Have you looked into crowd sourcing?

The only issue with the ST is the trans, they made a useless gear set with gears 3&7 by using half ratios with those, also the strength of that trans is unknown.

This is why somebody needs to find out what it can do. BTW apparently LMS has an updated tune for the ST that is pushing more power.

Congrats! Now somebody needs to do something like this to an ST!

Perfect! Have you done any other mods? What air filters are you using?
