Luis J Munoz Report post Posted November 5, 2012 Driving a 2011 Ford Edge Limited. No roof rails. I have always been a planner and didn't want to get stuck with figuring out a solution when I needed it most. If you have a load where you have to drive with the lift partially open, (i.e. purchasing a christmas tree) how do you secure it so it isn't completely up in the air when driving. I have looked around and seen some people engage the lock and tie it to that. I also saw tht suburu has a small hole that you can expose to hook into. Just wondering if anyone here has figured out a good alternative. Thanks, if you have pictures of your solution that would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wlepse Report post Posted November 5, 2012 Haven't done it with the Edge but have done as you mentioned with the lock. But I recommend picking up some pipe insulation. I store a piece by the spare tire and use it on the edge of the trunk/tailgate to protect it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCHeel Report post Posted November 5, 2012 I think I have only done it once , but I hooked a bungee cord into one of the pockets on the bottom edge of the door. It held fine for me for the couple of miles between Lowes and home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
