    I don't remember where I saw it or I'd offer a link but....on one of the Edge forums someone had removed the cup holder panel from the console (just pull up) and removed the plastic tubing that acts as the spring.  If I recall correctly he just pulled it back off of those 'claws' fixing the issue you're describing.  It'd be easy to do or undo (if you don't like the fix).

     

    that was me  :)

     

     

  2. Upgraded my iPhone last night with the 13.1 iOS update.  When I plugged in today to use Apple Carplay (2019 ST latest Sync3) it came up with a screen option like the factory one.  Map on the left half, quick link phone top 1/4, and music/podcast bottom 1/4.  HOWEVER, the maps (apple or google) didn't display anything in the left half.  If I selected the map (either one) it went full screen with all detail like you'd expect.  Wonder if there is a slight bug in 13.1 and car play.  

     

    Anyone else looked at this?

    Did you painted the exhaust tips black, or they came out of the factory like this? If you painted them, what paint did you use ? 

     

    I painted the openings with PlastiDip (5 coats), it is easy to remove if I didn't like it, but I do like it  ?

    Another update: it's been roughly three months since clearing the adaptive cache, and the tranny shifts perfectly. Problem is definitely gone. No software update required. No parts were broken. My Edge is working as expected. Very happy this was a simple fix. Hope others can try this.

     

    Can you describe the procedure for clearing the cache?

    Ok, thanks that's great I have the lift points and the hockey puck for the jack,

     

    How do I lift the vehicle at the lift points then replace the jack with jack stands?

     

    The list points don't seem wide enough to allow for both the jack and jack stand.

     

    Thanks

     

     

     

    I usually find a frame rail or solid point where the suspension mounts to when I place my jack stands.  So while they are close to the jack, they are further in than the jacking rails

  6. I know this is probably one of those things that only annoyed me, but I found a solution and I thought I would share. 

     

    In my 2019 ST, the cup holders have the 4 little push out tabs that hold the cup in place.  I always have a large styrofoam cup, and those little tabs hold on with a vengeance that I always thought were either going to punch a hole in the bottom, or I'd pull the lid off while trying to get the cup out.  I took apart the panel that holds them and found that the tension is controlled by a solid rubber tubing that runs through each of the tabs -

    The tension is maintained by the zig zag portion in the middle.  So I just moved it out of the guides:

    There is still enough tension to put a little pressure on the cup, but it won't leave marks or grab ahold of the cup.

    It was made 4/15/19 so the TSB doesn't apply. I took it in for service and they said there are no TSB's available for her vehicle. I think I'm going to clear the TCM memory and see if that helps. Unfortunately there's no video's (that I know of) with step by step instructions using FORScan so this should be fun. I've done it before on my Focus ST but this is HER car and I can't screw it up.

    Please take good notes on how you do this for future reference?  :)

    Nice find, but how good would the black finish stand to tightening/loosening of the lug nuts or the use of impact wrenches. With the black finish, any scratch will quickly become visible, unlike a chrome finish.

     

    Not sure, I guess we’ll see.  However, I had black lug nuts on black custom wheels for my Ford Explorer for 7 years and they held up, so I’m going with them. :)

  9. One thing I have not been happy with are the chrome lug nuts on the black wheels.  Well, after trying ones from Gorilla and McGard, I finally located ones that work very well.  The issue with the others is that under the lug nuts Ford machined the holes to smooth the mating surface.  This leaves a silver ring, and the Gorilla and McGard were too small in diameter and they allowed the ring to be seen.  I finally found a company in California - https://veritekperformance.com/ 

     

    lug nuts - VPE-1415FMFOEBK

    locking - VPE-NFD1415LKBK

     

    Looks like they are made for a Mustang, but they work incredibly well.

    I really like the ST in this color. I actually was going back and forth between the Magnetic, and white platinum from 2 different dealerships. Both cars were optioned exactly the same, but in the end I got the better deal on the White one. 

    I was going back and forth between this and the blue, very glad that I picked this one

    In terms of wiring and mounting? Does it replace what I currently have or it goes in parallel?

     

    Not sure what year you have, but my 19 ST had the single tone horn.  I added a dual horn setup from a 2018 and it was an easy install.  In the 19 you only have to remove the headlight, not sure about other years.  It uses existing mount point and wiring.
