  1. Has anyone installed inchannel wind deflectors on the windows? I wis issue.as thinking about putting a set on, but have been told that the inchannel ones are inclined to break easy. Any comments on th

  2. For this problem a quality leather cleaner/preserver is your friend. We have the camel interior and our solution was the Meguires product. Lexal also makes some good stuff.
  3. I am glad you have a dealer who is being straight with you hope it works for you
  4. From what I have read the source of the leak drips right onto the exhaust and that does sound to me like a seal failure just because of your description of when you smelled it. IE at a stop light where the drips would have a chance to land on the hot surface and at speed where the rotating shaft would be more prone to leaking
  5. From my experience they should count it as a repair which should come with a warrenty all it's own, but it would just cover the repair not for example the rest of the drive train
  6. Yea I grew up in Colorado, they use a chemical called Magnesium Chloride to keep the roads from icing and the spray off tires creates this black slimy film over the entire car. Other than that they use gravel instead of salt /shrug who knows rock chips or salt
  7. I am not sure but I think the 09 seals are the reengineered ones. Now thats not saying that your Edge didn't get the last 07-08 seal in the hopper as it came down the line either. I would say take that sucker in if your smelling the burn and at least let them take a look at it. Thats what warenties are for LOL GL
  8. Stick with the touchless the only thing worse than an idiot with a scrub brush is an idiot with a scrub brush + road grime. As for the recycled water most modern places filter their recycled water before using it again, after all the debris would plug the sprayers if they didn't filter. One thing I have done is uilized a quick detailer right after I get home from the wash. this will take care of any road residue that the touchless may have left. Hope this helps, ohh yea there is one other thing. you could move to southern Cali where the median temp is 72 degreesF lol. Take care and good luck
  9. I beleve it is a newly designed seal but don't quote me. I will ask my brother tomorrow if I get a chance to look into it and get some details
  10. Very cool lol hope my wife doesn't see these but she is pretty happy with her 08
  11. look at the weathertech digital fit best I have seen. Still have to buy my set though kinda pricy
  12. OK the ordered them in and when I got into town to pick them up guess what they are brown dark chocolate brown. So talking to the idiots at Drew I am told oh well guess they don't make them for my car till a parts guy named Scott stepped in and asked what was the problem. Turns out my trim code isn't even in the system so he is contacting ford and will get back to me on Tuesday but most likely will not get an answer till after the 1st. I all most was ready to lose faith in my deal but at least I have found a parts guy to trust now. Guess it's time to find a service writer that doesn't shrug his shoulders and go ohh well guess yours didn't come with one. Lazy service people suck.
  13. Brother is a Sr master Tech for ford and like Sparky said ford has fixed the PTU problem if I remember what my brother said the original seal designe would leak and so they have a redesigned one. As for comparisons I will take the Edge over any of the others hands down. Another thing to consider is ask yourself if you really need AWD you may live in a cold climate with masive snowfall but if you don't get a lot of snow the FWD would prob work well with good tires and it will save you money.
  14. Hey all we have an 08 FWD limited that we love esp wife. However I have one complaint those darn fog lamp bezels are chrome which is fine, but they have so many nooks and crannies that they are a horrendous pain in the butt to make look good espicialy with them being chrome. Was wondering if any one has found this to be a problem and has maybe thought or come accross a solution. I was thinking a smooth faceted bezel without all the ridges molded into them. What do you guys think is this a valid cause or should i just suck it up and buy more Qtips. Dan
  15. Sorry man my edge lives in a much warmer climate no idea where they would put one. Are you sure a block heater is an option? Not being smart I just don't know.
