  1. I have the SEL model and when when driving morning to mid-day, if the general direction is eastward (toward the sun) the reflection can be quite strong. The (horizontal-more or less) dash itself is a matte black material and does not cause a problem. The problem is the reflection from the brushed aluminum grill/trim piece in the center of the dash surrounding the radio controls and other controls. Obviously, if one is driving away from the source of light (sun to your back) there is little to no reflection, so rear window tinting would not have much to do with this.
  2. Hi all, 3rd post. 2010 Edge SEL. Have and like Sirius, but there are times when I do not get reception, instead I get "acquiring signal" and nothing. This happens sometimes after I drive the car home, with Sirius working, then park and go out 1/2 hr later and no signal. I turn the unit off, wait a minute, turn it on, and still no signal. Then 10 minutes down the road, I get a signal. It's happened about a dozen times so far, and I cannot see any obstructions to signal reception. Does this sound like the radio/head unit, or it there a signal issue? Thx
  3. Hi all, 1st post. Have a '10 Edge SEL and love it. But my wife has a major issue with reflections from the center console alum trim around the radio/temp controls. It seems to me that Ford kind of blew it when they put a buffed alum/black striped trim piece that seriously reflects sunlight. My wife is hypersensetive to light like this, and I too have had my eyes saturated with reflections. Then add the highly reflective (chrome) trim bezels around the L-center and R-center ventilation outlets, and I now have a new project. Polarized sunglasses are not the answer, at least not for our eyes. Does anyone know if the center trim piece can be easily removed, and if so, how? I'd like to get it painted, powder-coated, or anodized to a black matte finish to kill reflections. I know there are transfer kits to change the look of this trim, but I don't think that's the direction I want to go in, yet. Thx in advance.
