As far as instructions on how to replace, have you checked other platforms other than there Ford Edge Forums? I suggest a Google search. Instructions for replacing the roof panel seal requires complete removal of the sun roof to perform. Could be this repair will be the same procedure. From the instructions, it's nt overly difficult, but time consuming. -

I'm fairly certain that Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer is the product I used years ago. I would not use it now as the product became ineffective. I've never used POR-15 nor Fluid Film. Everything I have read about the two products has shown that: 1. Fluid Film works, but washes off and needs to be re-done once a year, at a minimum. All depends on your operating environment. 2. POR-15 works very well, but as stated, it's messy and, IIRC, professional equipment is needed to apply properly. You don't just spray it on. -

Where are you getting the 162 ft/lb number from? Your User Manual? Mine originally stated 150 ft/lbs which I can install & remove by hand, BUT it seems way too high. What I ultimately found out is that the 150 ft/lb value was for trucks, not cars. I now torque to 100 ft/lbs. Haven't had a wheel come off yet. -
Concerning the 2.0L engine, sometime during in 2019-2020, Ford changed over from the wide slot to the small, cross-drilled holes. Because this change increased the amount of solid metal on the block deck between cyl 2 & 3, it provided a much larger surface for the head gasket to seal against. The new design has proven to be a permanent fix & I can't recall a single case of gasket failure. As far as changing the coolant, if it were me. I'd get a copy of the Ford Service Manual for 2024 and read the procedure. $60 on Ebay, cheap insurance that will pay dividends for years. https://ebay.us/m/sfs60U -

While you're back there, check the tightness of the spare tire and Jack assy. If the wing nut loosened slightly, its possible that causing the squeek.

I don't use a torque wrench on the lug nuts, so can't comment on that question. Within the first 15K miles of my Sports life the Ford dealership damaged the aluminum cladding on the lug nuts due to the use of impact wrenches for removing and installing them - they gave me a complete new set - 125K miles and they're still in "as new" condition. Recently had tires installed at Costco - added clear instructions to the job card that no impact wrench be used - I watched and they didn't use impacts. . -
not much to add here...but I am glad I found this post. I have a rattling sound somewhere in the right rear cargo panel just as lasseventies described in the first post. Except mine seems to be at slower speeds and roughness of the road. I will look into the above suggestions and see where it gets me.

hi all, newbie here. I just bought a 2024 Edge, 30k miles, and I want to do a coolant change even though ford doesn't recommend it this early. I have seen in the past where cylinder head gaskets (other make and model) have such small coolant passage holes that they plug up with corrosion over time. I also know about the head gasket issue with the earlier 2.0...the ones that had the slot between the cylinders. And their fix was to replace the groove with tiny hole drilled between the cylinders. Well this seems to me a potential to plug with corrosion over time too just like the head gasket I mentioned above. So at any rate, for my piecs of mind, its every 30k miles for the coolant hange for me... to ward off what I feel could be an issue down the road. my question to you guys, first, does the 2024 have these small holes beween the cylinders? Second, any high mileage 2.0s (with the tiny holes) had any known issues with clogging? I specifically bought the antifreeze from Ford so there is no question I got the right type. Other than the need to "vacuum fill" the coolant system to "burp it", is there anything else I need to be made aware of? I'm old school and quite amazed how cars have changed to the point you really need to know what your are doing before starting work or repair on them. Glad I found this site!
