Granolagrinder Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hi guys, I recently purchased a used 13' Edge Limited here in Texas, the car come with all the accessories and packages. I notice on the windshield, right at the base adjacent to rearview mirror, there this one component being exposed. I would think there is a plastic cap to cover this unit but I really have no idea of its function. I took it to the local dealership and spoke to someone at part, he had told me that he couldnt find the part and he thinks its an accessory that was added on by previous owner. Anyone here got any idea ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omar302 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 My guess the missing part is the rain sensor cover. Some vehicles faced a problem where the cover falls off in high heat. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/10763-2011-edge-sport-rain-sensor-cover-falling-off/ https://www.parts.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=store.PartInfo&PartNumber=BT4Z17D550A&VehicleID=313538&diagram=MS11335&Title%3DFORD-COVER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, apparently people have been experiencing the cap fall off when the windshield gets hot. I was wondering if I could just glue this onto the windshield. Thanks guy.

Yes, that is the rain sensor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Faldik Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Went and looked at my Edge Sport and it is indeed a rain sensor cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
