Thanks @enigma-2 ! I had not seen the ProClip before - looks impressively stable but pricy. I'm trying one more cheap clippy-type product before I give in and go that direction. The center mount option is exactly the spot where I want a phone mount, but haven't to date found a suction or clip product that will work in that lower right corner of the dashboard display.

1st gen MKX, I use a holder that clips to the vent. Yes, it deflects part of the airflow but it sits at the right height for me.

 

I only use it when using a map program where I watch to see where the cops are in real time. (I'm running an Escort Max 360c radar detector.)

 

I dont really have a problem with blocking one of the vents, don't like them directly blowing on me anyway.

 

Used a sticky cup holder, worked well, never fell off, but if you mount it to the windshield, you can get a warning ticket for blocking your vision. @always on edge mounted it in probably the best place where it won't get noticed.

Yes that was my same concern when I started shopping around for alternatives. I really wanted this one to work, but the velcro tape inside the clip kept giving out and every few days it would slide out of place or completely fall off onto my lap while driving. There doesn't seem to be a square inch of surface on or around the Edge dashboard that is flat enough to hold a clip like this.

Thanks @always on edgefor the recommendation. Funny enough, I still have one just like that, but hadn't tried sticking it onto the windshield because I felt like it obstructed my view in that corner. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

Anyone find a cell phone mount for a late model Edge that you actually like and that stays in place? All the ones I've tried so far seem to have significant drawbacks...

The kind that suction cup to the top of the dash usually fall off (Edge dashboard is too curved)
The kind that hang from the rearview mirror block the mirror day/night sensor (and also fall off)
The kind that clips on to the rim of the dash keeps losing its grip and falling off.

The kind that clips on to the vent grill blocks the vent.

I finally gave up on all of these and got the stupid WeatherTech cupFone mount, which is great in many ways except for the part where you have to take your eyes off the road to use it. :(

Just joined this forum site to look for better-than-OEM shock/strut solutions. Just inherited a 2013 SEL with 125K mil riding on fresh 18" oversize tires that seems to crater on every damn bump in the road. Looks like I'll be asking a mechanic to order/install Motorcraft!

New member here (first post!). Anybody here have good or bad experiences using BG products (44K Platinum, EPR, MOA) in a late model Edge? Looking to clean out/liven up an elderly parent's 2013 SEL (3.5L V6 w/ 130000 miles) before some very long hot weather drives. Have had good experiences with BG in other vehicles (Jeep) but never tried in a Ford or anything with "eco-boost" control...

p.s. - Apologies if there is already a thread on this topic. Tried searching for "BG" on this site but didn't get any hits.
