Mudguards for the Edge -- Ford's pitiful solution and an alternative


Recommended Posts

After asking and being assured that the new '13 Edge could have decemt Ford flaps installed, we found that they not only didn't fit (not on the front, at least) but that the Ford version was what I'd call a "J. C. Whitney" solution -- i.e., cheap and poorly made.

 

So we went with the Husky version from the bedliner people (http://www.huskyliners.com/images/ePIM/original/753933584115_P04.jpg). They were contoured, looked darned good and fit like a glove for about $40 front (we used the Ford junk on the back because there's already a fair-to-middlin' guard in the body moulding already there). The lesser-quality Ford version adds some extra protection on the back and looks OK, too, but I'd opt for the Husky on the rear if I hadn't already committed...

All of the above are pre-drilled and attach with existing screws...which I'm not so sure is good for those rear Ford flaps since there's nothing holding them except along the left outside edges. That could be bad if one backs up into boilerplate snow, for example. The front Husky flaps don't have extra support either but they're a bit more robust.
