A year later I am still looking for these stupid things. Anybody ready to sell them?? someone help me out

My edge has a hodge podge of tires.. I bought it used and it had cooper discovery hts on it. Replaced 2 of those immediately due to wear with maxxis bravo h/ts .. I like these better than the coopers as they are super quiet. Then I had my tires rotated at the dealer and of course an unfixable nail puncture was found. All they had was hankook so I now have 2 of those on the back and the maxxis on the front. The hankooks don't seem as bad as everyone says. I think some of it is just the fact of new vs older tires.

I wouldn't want to drive with a front hitch on an edge, I guess you could do it though. If you're putting on hitches why not just put a hitch on the back of the camper and a bike rack there.

if you have the roof rails on your edge you can get the crossbars from ford for 100... you can also get some cheap roof racks that will not hinder the hatch opening.. I use these http://www.overstock.com/Sports-Toys/Locking-Upright-Roof-Rack-Pack-of-2/667469/product.html?cid=123620&fp=F&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=946589-000-001 I'd only recommend 2 bikes o the roof though. here is the thread I started when looking for racks http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/4267-bike-rack-for-factory-crossbars/

I'd remove both bulbs then try another fuse.. if this doesn't work take a multimeter and look for one of the wires that may be shorted to ground somewhere.

The V1 seems like a great detector. I figured I'd share a pic of my whistler 3450 install. For people with the SE model the in dash bracket is a pretty good fit for the blank buttons. Works fairly well, It's no V1, but I didn't want anything on my dash or window.

If I remember right you just pull and pry. The seatbelt goes through it , but you can just lay it over. Take out the floor first.

Make sure to post some pics of your audio stuff once you get it in.

I'm still looking to buy some of these will pay 150 for both sides and the spare cover.

I would attempt to make some kind of bracket or adapter. I like the factory rails they give a clean look and don't stick up as high or out as much as the aftermarket ones.

Finally a warm enough day to try out my roof rack.. worked well not too noisy at all.

just an update, I've had the rack on for a couple of tanks of gas an no noticeable drop in mileage. i usually get 20 to 22 and I got 20.5 on my last tank. I think the vehicle is inefficient anyway and there isn't enough wind resistance to make a difference. now if it would warm up I could report on driving with a bike on top, but I have not done that yet. I now carry a milk crate to stand on to put a bike up there though,

cheap bike rack installed .... put a bike on there and it's pretty tall.. Looks like it should do the job though and no noticeable noise with an empty rack and a 60 mph short test drive today.

you have to add a crossbar further up with aftermarket towers that clip inside the door. then use the rails for the other crossbar.
