Burrcold Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Picked up my Edge Sport this past weekend and everything has been great! I looked over the vehicle with a fine tooth comb and was very impressed with the fit and finish (I've owned many luxury brands and this being my first domestic vehicle I am truly surprised!). Anyways, the only issue I found was the rear bumper alignment and the rear light (almost looks like it was bumped but the dealer assured me it was not). Is this panel a common problem or is this something I should even bother bringing to the dealers attention? I know sometimes they fix one thing and end up f'ing up something else.

Nick Halstead Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 if you're talking about the line before where the 2 panels meet, then no. mine has it too. mine had issues with all 4 doors trim pieces around the windows also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrcold Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yes the line between the rear bumper panel and rear quarter panel. The gap is not consistent as it moves down the panel (starts off okay but tapers off to no gap where the panels basically touch). Also if you look at the light it looks like it should be shifted up a few mm. There is a small gap above the light (no gap on the driver's side). Again I know I'm nit picking but I just wanted to know if this is usual with these cars or if I should bother to bring it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezz Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Every single 15+ edge I've seen has misaligned body panels, which is sad. If the gap is super bad then sure you should take it to the dealer (pray they don't break clips), or if you know how adjust the panel yourself. I removed my rear bumper for another purpose and when I put it back on it the gaps were much closer and aligned. Its up too you, if it bothers you then perhaps get the dealer to look at it, but if there is a big chance they could break something then just dont bother.

Burrcold Posted September 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Definitely not super bad just not consistent with the rest of the body panels that line up perfectly. I don't think I would have even noticed if it were a darker color, but with white they are very apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micki Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 if you're talking about the line before where the 2 panels meet, then no. mine has it too. mine had issues with all 4 doors trim pieces around the windows also I was wondering if you took the car back to dealer and requested for fixing it. My car has those nasty misalignments especially rear left doors have it and it does not look nice. I'm thinking what to do about it. We bought the car 4 months ago.

Burrcold Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Bring it to the dealer. Mine is going in next week to have all of the panel issues resolved (under warranty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
