Back from the wheel shop - they look amazing. They did the inner barrels too - they'll be a lot easier to keep clean!

The only pitfall I see thus far, is that the OE center cap no longer 'snaps' into place, as it was indexed off the chrome cap... I'll have to sort out some type of retainer or double-sided 3m tape to affix them in place....

I pried the cap off with a small pry bar. The large glue areas were scraped with a razor blade, then the wheel will be sand blasted before being refinished. I'm only doing the one wheel to start - sort of a PROMO from my wheel company, as they've never done one either...

In the process of having one of my 20" Limited wheels refinished. I had a damaged wheel off another vehicle, and was successful in removing the chrome cap. One of my customers is in the process currently of refinishing the wheel now - will post pics when completed. I've taken the route to have the wheel color matched to my Edge - White Platinum Tri-Coat Here is the wheel with the chrome cap removed:

wow...

Had mine replaced too, under warranty

Here is my original post; http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/6593-2011-edge-sport-rust-spots-on-front-doors/

This is due to the door shell being painted prior to the inner mechanisms being installed. Small metal shavings from the self tapping screws used fall inside the door skin and become stuck at the lower seam. I have a previous post regarding this same issue. I purchased a product called 'IronX' and sprayed it in the doors. After agitating the solution with an old toothbrush in the cracks and crevices it rinsed clean.

id like to see pics too - i'd thought about having it dyed to match...

where in Canada?

Is yours hard plastic? On my 3.5L the engine cover is a foam type rubber (i assume to help with noise and dampening?)

apparently Ford will have an ecoboost option accross all platforms by 2014. Hopefully they can offer an ecoboost Edge w. AWD. (maybe they will even offer the ecoboost V6 in the SHO)

I assume it's w/o myFordTouch? Your cluster looks different than mine. I have the 2x LCD's to each side of the speedo.

There's a thread on here somehwere regarding this issue. It's not actual rust - but rather small filings or shavings that result in the cutting of threads into the door when installing the accessories (speakers etc.) after the door has been painted at the factory. Look into a product called 'Iron-X'. I sprayed the inner seam and gave it a scrub with an old toothbrush. It looks brand new now.

Just heard from the dealer, apparently 'my' Edge is not affected by the TSB... ?
