I secured both of the splash shields to the wheel well cover. The three on the left are the ones I added. Turns out it was not the main culprit. While I had the wheels off I checked the shock upper connection. Sure enough the passenger side was loose. The rattle is gone. I think things are a little quieter due to securing the shields. At least that is what I have to tell myself after doing the work.

I have managed to figure out what was causing most of the weird rattling on my ST. Now I am getting a rattle from the rear of the Edge that only happens at low speed. I am pretty sure it is being caused by the driver side splash shield that is attached to the left side of the bumper by two screws and to the body by two more. There is a lot of shield that is not attached to anything. I think it only happens at low speed because the shield is pushed back and down by the air movement. I am going to figure out a way to attach it to other things. The first try will be the tying it to the wheel liner with some screws. I will report back. Top is the area with the two small and one large hole. This attaches to the underside of the body. The two clip on nuts attach to the bottom of the bumper.

I was told by a semi retired Ford executive that the Edge will be coming back to the US for the 2029 or 2030 model year. Good news if it is true.

They stopped using the cover early in the 2019 model year. My ST was produced in late 2018 and it included the cover from the factory.

The cover does not have to be removed to change the oil.

Powerstop got back to me and blew me off. Basically, all rotors rust, so whats the problem. This is what they say about the coating on their site. "Evolution coating for maximum protection against rust & corrosion" They do not make any disclaimer about rust. No asterisk! So their coating is a complete waste of money. Lesson learned.

Update. From a performance standpoint I am very happy with the Powerstop rotors and pads. I am not sure what to think about the amount of rust I am seeing on their "Fully Coated" rotors. I sent them an email with this picture. It will be interesting to see what they say. I think this is an unacceptable amount of rust on rotors that I installed 9 months ago. I would like to hear what others think?

I did end up cutting it. Only the two sides that face the engine are insulated. I cut it on the firewall side and cable tied it to the battery.

Did you get a new blanket or just install the new battery without it?

Does the H7 fit in a 2019 Edge?

The one above is the "L" version, which is longer then the normal Edge. They also make the normal size Edge. Both are related to the Lincoln Nautilus, which is of course available in the US.

It looks like Ford is selling the Chinese Edge in the Caribbean and Asian regions. https://www.caribe.ford.com/en/sur/suvs/edge/

I agree with DGW. I have no interest in the Bronco or the Explorer. Over the years I had three Edges for my company car and we now own two in our retirement. The Edge was the perfect vehicle for us. Its a shame that Ford has abandoned so many loyal customers.

I have this fantasy that Ford will bring the Edge back to the US now that their push to electric cars has stalled. I will admit it is pretty unlikely.

I would pull the light out and disconnect the power. Probably a good idea to secure the loose wiring somewhere.
