Lincoln81 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 hey guys, got around to wash my new to me 2015 edge and when opening my hatch I noticed a water noise, moved the hatch back and forth and a bit of water came out of the latch area, then noticed the 2 rubber plugs/stoppers on either side and pulled them out and a few gallons of water came out... Where is the water getting in from? Is this normal? Bad seal somewhere? worried about winter going through a carwash and it freezing causing premature rust thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvan231 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Sounds like it could be a bad seal or possibly an issue with the door seams themselves. Have you investigated further? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Did not hear of something similar before. Maybe see where the rear wiper goes the the glass, there should be a bushing to allow the wiper motor shaft through the glass but prevent water & dust from going in.

Lincoln81 Posted June 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I haven't had a chance to look any further. It will be nice this weekend and I will wash it again and take a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike dexter Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 The liftgate is not draining properly. Just below each rubber bumpers is a rectangular drainage hole. Clear out whatever is obstructing those drains, using something like a coated wire or a pipe cleaner that won't scratch the paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln81 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Mike, I did not notice the rectangular drainage holes but I will take a look. I did investigate over the weekend, took the back plastic off, got inside while my son hosed the back of the edge and the water was coming in from the handle. I removed the handled and dried it, dried the outside of it and put some silicon on it, put it back on. let it dry and then tried to hose and no more water. While I was in there I put some rust control in a can to help keep it all good cheers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
