  1. Did you remove the protection film on both side, mine was really bad until I remove the protection on the viewing side once installed.
  2. Hi Have Husky Liner (http://www.huskyliners.com) in my 2011 Edge Limited (Front / Back / Cargo) They are WeatherTech style but was cheaper for me (local retailer/no shipping), overall very well made and fit perfectly. Only complaint is about the color, their Tan doesn't match very well the Beige interior of the Edge.
  3. I ordered and installed the Original 178X 108 size, the other was not available at ordering time. I would say that both will fit the screen, the smaller one 174 X 104 (about 1/8 in smaller) will probably fill the exposed screen, the larger film goes under the plastic case (no visible demarcation at the edge of the screen).
  4. Hi, Yes the protective film add a glossy finish but the film treatment (polarization??) offer a huge improvement in direct sun light, no more washed hard to see color, the glare is cut by 60-70%, contrast is increased too but you will still see some mirror effect. The film is not available under the Edge category .. On the website, under order now by manufacturer, select Custom size product list (Green button), select Ford and Sync display 178 x108mm. Regards.
  5. Hello, I'm an happy 2011 Limited owner since 6 weeks, so far I only experienced the GPS Miles vs KM voice issue. Playing a lot with all the car features, I found the central LCD really prone to finger 'stamp' especially visible in daylight and also had a concern about the long term durability of the screen since I could already see some really thin scratch (due to frequent wipe?) when direct sunlight blast the screen. Browsing the Web for protective film that will fit the 8in central display, I found the NuShield DayView film and decided to give it a trial, there is my first observations: First of all, NuShield have a custom screen that fit the Sync display perfectly. The film was ordered online directly from NuShield and received 5 days later in Canada (US Postage/no duties fee). Installation was very easy, the film is fairly rigid witch help the installation and did not experience any trapped bubbles, first try / perfect fit. Once installed, the NuShield is totally transparent, it give a more glossy look to the screen, the colors are brighter and look more 'solid', the direct sunlight readability is amazing, no more fade at all. The screen look more like an iPad than the actual 90's Palm look.... very classy and the added glossy doesn't interfere with readability at all. Colors enhancement also benefit at night. The NuShield website show demo pictures of film on an iPad that give a good example of the final look in the Edge. The screen is also less prone to finger print and the rigidity of the film don't interfere with the touch screen experience, only drawback I found is the rainbow effect the film produce when I wear polarized sunglass. So far I'm very happy with my purchase.
