Hi guys, on my still new 2019 Ford Edge Titanium (just 5.000 Km) I noticed that a plastic piece of the tailgate panel is missing, seems to be the cover of the handle. Don't know how and when it has come off. Maybe it is because I don't know the exact name of this part, but I'm having trouble finding a replacement on the internet. Any help from forum members would be really appreciated. Thanks, marpa73

Hey all! Began noticing this problem this past summer in the warmer weather, and now that winter is here I'm worried about all that salt and brine getting into the inner workings of my car. Has anyone had this happen to their Edge before or know of a fix? I'm not sure if this is a DIY repair and the handle can pry off so I can re-seat or replace this gasket, or if I have to take off the panel from inside to access it. Like I said, worried about water and salt and stuff getting into the inner workings, plus it just looks like junk! Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!

In my 2012 Sport I have interior door handle trim (?) if that's what you call it. Need to replace one on rear passenger side to match the factory color because the current one is scratched up pretty bad. The only pic I found online is for a front door (below), but just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. Where do I get one of these in the silver color I need and what are they called? Has anyone replaced this themselves and how do you do it?

Looking for some guidance to see if I can fix the issue with my Edge personally or should I have a shop take care of it. Bottom line...my exterior door handle will not work while the interior door handle will open the door without an issue. When I shake the door I hear a metal pinging noise coming from the exterior door handle area. The door handle has been disconnected. Can anyone please instruct me on fixing this issue? Or should I take it to a shop? I appreciate all your responses and guidance in advance!

I am currently a college student and for our Machine Elements class, we have a finite element analysis project. Essentially, we are supposed to create, or find, a 3D model of a door handle on our current car (we will be providing a picture of our door handle to prove it is our car) and determine the material and run a computer analysis determining the stressed incurred when somebody tries to open the door. I have a 2007 Ford Edge, but I believe that many, if not all, of the Ford Edge model years so far have the same handle. So now comes to my real questions, does anybody have anything I could use? Any information regarding 3D model files you may have (preferably Solidworks files), what the interior mechanisms used to connect the door handle are, the material the handle is made out of, or dimensions of the handle (so that if I must model the handle myself, I can do something more accurate than guesstimating, since the rounded parts of the door handle are very difficult to measure and model accurately, especially without taking the door apart)? Literally any information you can provide about the door handle will help. Thanks!
