Pardo714 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I have found the back cover section of the edge very cheaply made, it just sits there and does not lock in weary well. I had a grand Cherokee and it was a much better design, locked in place and had plastic bins. The ford design is terrible and whom ever designed it should go back to Lego Land. Mine was not even and I had to trim one of the foam bins to make the cover sit flush. Did anyone else have the same problem and how did you fix it? Did any get a cargo cover? I see the spots where it would fit but my edge did not come with one. I search the accessories and don't see one for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redlancer Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) yeah, just kind of sits there. I put the little tabs in the very rear down over the cover to pin it down a little and seems to help. if you want the OEM option roller cover, the part number is: Cover: FT4Z-5845440-AA seems like something it should come with, but I guess whatever they can charge extra for... I bought one and it works well, fits well. Edited January 24, 2016 by redlancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipster Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 redlancer; Please put up a picture of that cover. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNut Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Those foam bins snap in to place. So make sure they are snapped down all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetCandyEdge Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Those foam bins snap in to place. So make sure they are snapped down all the way. Do you mean the foam bins around the spare wheel? Mine seem to float and do not appear to be snapped down at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadimus Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Do you mean the foam bins around the spare wheel? Mine seem to float and do not appear to be snapped down at all. Mine are snapped for sure, tricky to remove if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNut Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Do you mean the foam bins around the spare wheel? Mine seem to float and do not appear to be snapped down at all. Correct. When I pulled them out one time, they had to be popped off. Then popped back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetCandyEdge Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Correct. When I pulled them out one time, they had to be popped off. Then popped back in. Where are the clips (near front, back or both)? I am pretty sure my 2016 doesn't have clips. Will confirm tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see in the pic below. I think by design the green/orange plastic fittings should stay inside the foam piece. The orange stayed fine. So I had to put the green pieces back in the foam first to clip them back down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One clip at the back had popped off the post and the foam clip was riding on top of the metal post. I repositioned the foam, jammed the clip onto the metal post and now the spare tire cover fits much better. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we won't be taking this on/off very often....if at all.....but it is kind of a cheap solution to clip them down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNut Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 On another note, what are people storing in these storage things under the spare tire cover? I keep a few tie downs, some detailing spray, and a clean microfiber cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I search the accessories and don't see one for sale. mine has plastic bins and there are quite secure. they sit on guide pins and actually one houses my amplifier. i have seen some have foam..i dont understand why the plastic wouldnt be standard equipment? maybe look at getting some plastic ones? they stay in place and then lift out very easily. and when my deck cover is down they dont move at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
