edgemaster Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Can someone tell me how to remove the driver seat cushion of a 2009 Edge without damaging it? I need to grease the power seat hardware. Thanks, Ed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgemaster Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Holy Moly, Looks like this is not a diy job. Thanks anyway. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I used WD40 dry lube and sorated the hell out of everything I could see. Getting under the seat to spray the inside rail is a pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgemaster Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 So, you just sprayed from the under site without removing the seat cushion? Doesn't that stuff drip all over the carpet for days and smell awful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 WD40 dry lube is different than WD40. (I just sprayed the tracks as best I could.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgemaster Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 OK, didn't know about the dry lube stuff. Sounds like the way to go. Thanks a lot. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgemaster Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 What about spraying the connectors inadvertently? Would that screw up the electrics under the seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 What about spraying the connectors inadvertently? Would that screw up the electrics under the seat? Unlikely imo. The connectors are tight and not subject to moisture intrusion. I hit the tracks from front and rear, sprayed as much as I could reach.

edgemaster Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 OK, I'll check at my local ACE hardware store. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 FYI, I also use this on my BAMR as well. Stray makes it easy to get through the rubbers gaskets onto the tracks. Fast too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgemaster Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I had to look up BAMR. Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I had to look up BAMR. Thanks for the tip. Interesting tidbit - that name came from the Ford engineers themselves while they were working on the first application on the first gen Edge.
