This guy did it on an Explorer. Should be good guidance. But, I'd recommend keeping all the parts as it will probably hurt the resale. 

 

He used a wiper delete plug for a civic.

Thanks a lot.  I'll give that a try, hopefully motors are similar.

Gosh - where do you live?

Somewhere it hardly ever rains and the roads don't get wet?

South Ga/Ala.  It rains, it pours.. roads flood.  Learned to drive 50 years ago when wipers on the windshield were "iffy" (that was also when the hi-beam dimmer switch was on the floorboard and you dimmed the lights with your left foot... I wish it were still there).  Also RainX works wonders and I can see just fine.  Tend to look ahead more when driving anyway.

And your battery management system no longer works.

And neither does the stop start.. as I said, problem solved.

Where did you get the plug to go into the hole?  Do you know diameter of it?

I don't use it, have no need for it and think the car would look much better without it.  I am talking about removing it and plugging the hole in the glass.  Did it on the Focus ST, never missed it. 

Anyone done this?  Can't seem to find a "kit" for it anywhere online.  Had a Focus ST before the Edge, and there are dozens for the Focus but can't find anything for the Edge.

Thanks

There is a small wire attached to the negative battery cable near the post with a clip.  Disconnect that and your problem is solved. 

Anyone tried a rear wiper delete?

Did resonator delete and left factory muffler. No drone, but sound still isn't quite where I want it.  Will post back with update after I choose mufflers and get them installed. Kept factory pipe.

Gonna try to go 3", but may have to settle for 2.5. Having it done Tuesday, hopefully. Will post back then. 

Thanks for the reply.  I saw the post you're referring to after a deeper dig on the forum.  I like the way they look and am ordering some.  I'll post after a few thousand miles and let everyone know how they're holding up.  

Just traded my Focus ST in on the Edge ST and so far I like it.  Not quite as fun to drive but a hell of a lot easier to enter and exit (I'm 67).

Ordered lowering springs, having cat back dual  custom exhaust (Flowmaster 50) done next week and will post photos when all is complete.

Thanks again for the response and Happy Thanksgiving to all.  

Anyone tried 295/35 21??

Wondering if they're too wide.  Doesn't seem to be an enormous amount of space on rears.. haven't even looked at front yet.
