Help finding side window deflectors
Gregertech replied to Gregertech's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I picked up a set of AVS low profile since the look like they were the closest I could find online. I don't have them on the car yet but they look very similar, if not the same. I'll post pics after I install them, but I'm waiting for the weather to warm up since they are stick on. -
I think it should be noted that 2015 and up Edge do in fact have the ability for rear camber adjustment. I just learned this information from somebody on Facebook. It is not obvious that camber is adjustable when looking under the vehicle and doesn't seem to be widely known. I just got my Edge re-aligned, I had to show the tech where the camber adjustment was, and all numbers are within spec now, before this the rear camber was -3.0 and -2.0. The photo shows the location of the bolt, subframe side, and the elongated hole which allows the upper suspension arm to be adjusted in and out.

Unfortunately that's not an option. I got the photo from Facebook and have asked over there as well. -
So it occurred to me since the car wash I go to includes free vacuuming that I could use the vacuum to suck all of the excess water out of the mirrors. I've tried it a few times and so far it seems to be working good. No more water spot streaks down my doors! There's a seam under the mirrors where the plastic meets the metal which traps water and I have to vacuum that out too. It's an extra hassle to even have to do this but its better than the alternative.

Just a quick update, after being lowered for a couple of weeks, I started hearing random popping sounds coming from the right front, then a day or two later the left side started doing the same thing. I thought something was seriously wrong so I pulled the front tires and inspected everything to make sure nothing was loose. Turns out everything was fine and after some research online I had a good idea that it was the springs rubbing against the rubber seat. So I spent a good three hours pulling the front struts again and putting some grease between the springs and rubber spring seat. It's been about a week and no more noises from the front. Turns out doing this was mentioned in the how-to guide as an optional item. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to it the first time. I forgot to mention, this time I picked up this oxygen sensor socket from Nothern tool to use on the 21mm nut on the top hat. Although I could only do about a quarter turn at a time It worked good. Performance Tool Oxygen Sensor Socket — 3/8in. Drive, Model# W1267 | Northern Tool

The water drip issue is a huge pain. Just when I think the water is all drained from the mirrors and I've dried off the doors for the final time I'll come out an hour later and there will be a long water spot streak down the sides of the doors. The last thing I want to do is carry a leaf blower around with me every time I go to the car wash lol. Looking under the mirror I can see that most of the water is dripping from the seam where the plastic trim fits around the mirror. I am considering using some clear silicone to seal it up or maybe drill a small hole so it drains quicker.

Locks stopped working
Gregertech replied to BMB's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Did you ever resolve this? My 19' Edge ST, which I purchased new, started doing the exact same thing after about 18 months of owing it. Only the driver's door consistently locks / unlocks with keyless touch. The other doors work intermittently, but most of the time do not work. Tonight I disconnected the positive terminal on the battery for about and hour and and after reconnecting it I tested the doors and they all work. Time will tell if it continues to work consistently.
