Yes, with the new striker plate adjusted properly it now closes more easily. It's not 100% perfect, especially when parked on our driveway that curves and slopes.

I just bought a new Edge last weekend and the lift gate is definitely misaligned. It's going in next week but I'm nervous about anybody working on my brand new car.
Hopefully they don't screw up anything else.

Not sure how I double posted, sorry!

Mine is going in on Monday. I was inspecting the latch and striker and the bumper guide on one side of the strike plate is cracked in half. The whole liftgate is shifted about 2-3mm towards the passenger side.

Here's a better photo of the gap difference. Sorry, it's dark out and just rained.

Is yours power or manual?

We bought a new '17 Edge SEL last weekend. It has a manual liftgate and you have to slam it very hard to get it to latch completely. It does seem to flex or shift as it engages the latch when you try to close it slowly. I'll have to look at it closer in the daylight but it seems like it could use some adjustment.

I don't know where to find invoice pricing on this car.
I took the standard Ford Credit financing @ 4.9% to get an additional $1,000 rebate. I'll either pay it off in 90 days or refi at a substantially lower rate.
I'm happy, no buyers remorse yet.

I just bought a NEW 2017 Edge SEL, paid $26,500.
Out the door (tax + license in California) I'm at $29,150, seems like a bargain.
I don't think the dealer made any money but they did move a 2017 off their lot.

What do you think?

Excited to be picking up my new '17 Edge SEL tomorrow. I think we're gonna love this car.
