blankster Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I just picked up my 2011 Ford Edge LTD AWD and the sideview mirrors are completely changed. Thet are smaller more aerodynamic and less square/angular. I believe I read somewhere Job #2 on the 2011 Edge began with production starting 2/2/11 which means fixes/updates are applied. I suspect the wind noise issue was determined to be associated to the previous design mirror and this new one addressed that issue. I will post pictures when I have some time.

Edgieguy Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 integrated blinkers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamss Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Wonder if these mirrors will fit on my October built Edge? May try and get my dealer to swap them out....that is if it is compatible with my Bliss system (in case they tweaked around with it?)

blankster Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 No integrated blingers just more streamlined. Look for a limited in your area with a vin number greater than A96000 or B00000 or a build date greater than maybe 2/2/11 or 2/12 that should be around the switch over. Go check it out. Mine has BLS detection and it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blankster Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Has the blind spot mirror insert gone? I have no mirror insert just the electronic LED light that lights if a vehicle is next to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 We just picked up our limited today and it has the mirror insert. VIN is less than A96000. Do you think it's possible that BLIS mirror is different? We don't have the BLIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's possible that BLIS mirror is different? We don't have the BLIS. Where you have the small mirror I have a LED light that illuminates when something is in my blind side. Look at my pictures and compare it to your mirror especially where the mirror attaches to the door by the side window. the molding is now a gradual flair out and not a sharp bump (air deflector) Edited March 13, 2011 by blankster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4havnfun Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Does anyone know what the other differences between Job 1 & Job 2 are? Mine was built Feb 8 so I assume that it is Job 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nextime Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I like the look of the mirrors however I do like the integrated little blind spot mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXCL Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I like the look of the mirrors however I do like the integrated little blind spot mirror. I agree, but they don't mix the 2. I wish you could get BLIS and the blind spot mirror. You get one or the other. BLIS is neat, but I honestly think that the mirror is more practical. I have BLIS and wish I had the mirror.

If you adjust your mirrors like Click & Clack the Tappit Brothers suggest, you'll find that you really don't need the spot mirrors. The idea is to adjust them outward so you don't see your own car in the mirror. It works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep telling people that I don't have any blind spots because I adjust my mirrors correctly and I always glance over my shoulder as a backup. Works every time.

nextime Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I have mine adjusted like that but with the extra mirror in there you can see so much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamers1 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) So I have an Oct Job #1 build. Will they swap my mirrors out? The wind noise is pretty bad.

nextime Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I dont think they will swap out mirrors when there is a TSB to fix the mirror noise issue. There is a door wind noise though. Go outside and look at the gasket between the drivers door and rear door, follow it up and if you see a gap that is the noise you hear.

rwolson Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) I've set my mirrors using the same method too. Last week, when temps actually started warming up around here I watched a bike for about a half mile come down the left lane next to me. He stayed on the outer part of the lane, but the BLIS system never picked him up. The moral, pay attention to the mirros and look behind you no tursting just the mirros and BLIS.

Thanks for the review on the BLIS functionality. I was contemplating adding the options, but I actually like the Blind Spot Mirror on the standard set. I guess I won't be check that box off since it seems like it won't replace a good ol fashioned visual check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty cool. Watch the video on http://www.ford.com/crossovers/edge/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwolson Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 BLIS is a great technology, but you still need to pay attention to whose around you. BLIS saved me one time because someone changed lanes after I checked several times. Just when I started moving over the light came on and car goes flying by. I'd seen him in the other lane when I checked several times. My point in my previous update, watch for bikes especially when they trave on the outside l in the lane next to you. A lot of bikers will travel on the edges of lanes so they can see ahead and bail if necessary. They're a smaller vehicle and BLIS may not aquire them like a larger car. Also, just looked at my spelling in my other update; horrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsons66604 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Blis works great for cars as well as pedestrians in a parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
