Andry Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I sent them pictures in e-mail of the faulty bumper saver they sent me. I will have to now buy the Edge one that is more a sticker than a bumper saver.

I purchased a Bumper Saver for my Ford Edge and when I was about to install I noticed all the cracking and flacking of the top layer of the plastic. Whatever the material might be, it is cracked and pieces of it are coming off. Please let me know if I get a replacement that it will not be like this one. I really like the thickness of it. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopperCarolinaEdge Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Wow - good to know as I was about to contact them. Haven't purchased my Edge yet (hopefully this evening) but am already making a list of "mods/addons". Luckily for this application I have a friend who owns a Line-X dealer locally and he can coat anything. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamEDGE. Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) Wow that looks horrible, they need to practice a little (ok, a LOT) of R&D. At least you got your money back. Ford should have an OEM one, more expensive I bet. Edited June 18, 2008 by CreamEDGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08LTDEDGE Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Looks like they are using too much regrind in their molding process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bri719 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 damn I was planning on ordering one of these... now I need to find another option sorry yours was bad, seems like a bad batch or shipping like the others said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-m Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I have the Ford one, it's more than just a sticker. It's definitely enough to save your bumper from getting scratched up while loading stuff in the back. I think it looks much better than those bulky ones too.

Jaak in TO Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) I will be selling mine as it just did not fit the curve of MY bumper cover. It seems the "curve" on the outside edge is about a 1/4" less than it should be on the ends. If I lay it on the bumber cover and align both ends to the outside edge (rear of the bumper), the center is about a 1/4" in from the rear edge of the bumber cover. I am in Canada (Toronto) ....

Lex Talionis Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 sorry your bumber cover did not work ... IIRC, mine was not exactly perfect, but once you lay down the adhesion liquid and peel off the sticky back, if you lay one half down you can just massage the other half into the radius that works best. it is not precise, but this seemed to work perfect for me as I also recalled when I just laid it on for trail run, it was skewed, but when I tacked it down, I could get exact placement I wanted as it is rubbery and malleable.

Jaak in TO Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I would prefer to get one that I don't need to "adjust" ... just my train of thought .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I would prefer to get one that I don't need to "adjust" ... just my train of thought .. I feel ya, but it seems there are few choices for these out there: this one (no longer made), the Ford one (most people say thin and over-priced) and another off eBay (no real reports). When I imply you have to adjust it, it is not a major effort or adjustment - there is some effort required to place these things no matter who's you get - and I would take this thicker model over that Ford one and something over nothing. Just look at the picture in my Gallery, does that not look about perfect when installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaak in TO Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Saw the Ford one ... not too bad, although the Flex one is better. May look into that one via friends Porsche Shop as he has contacts at several Ford dealers ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueice Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) Saw one of those bumper protectors on the MKX and it looked very nice. It didn't have any logo on it that I could see, so maybe it was an aftermarket one that fits this vehicle. Looked a lot more substancial (tougher) than the one they advertise, which is very similar to the Edge protector.

Lex Talionis Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 someone needs to snap this thing up. :poke: I am telling you, it can easily be installed with little finesse and look perfect. mine looked a little off, but installed fine as I aid above.

Thank you. And for those that buy a factory Ford bumper protector . Watch out on the install! Mine was off by about 1/8 " on the backing sheet . I taped down the alignment marked area and carefully peeled off the paper and started the install . When half way through putting it on I realized that even thought the front was aligned correctly the curve along the bumper was off a slight amount . It was too late for me to take it off . Its only a minor amount ,most people wouldn't even notice it . It just bugs me. If installing one measure the rear area also and then align and tape down the front corners to get a perfect install. I'm considering using a heat gun and removing and putting another one on. Edited October 8, 2008 by BLACK ICE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
