wlepse Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 One thing I really have an issue with is having a clean windshield. Since getting the Edge I noticed there was one suction cup mark that I thought may have been from a GPS unit since the car was trasnferred from another dealer. I have tried several times to clean this off but can't, but in my cleaning attempts I have realized this isn't from a GPS but from when Ford installed the windshield as I can see (4) suction cup marks in an orderly pattern. I am reluctant to use anything harsh to try to clean since I saw other threads about the dash color being affected so does anyone have any ideas? I have it to the point I only notice it is there is condensation inside the cabin or if the lighting is just right. Still distracting and annoying.

fishx65 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I noticed the same thing on my 2011. A clay bar with some lube will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 They were on all of my windows. They're on the outside, by the way. White vinegar with a claybar fixed it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Are you sure they are on the outside? Mine do not show up if there is humidity outside but if the windshield fogs inside I can see them right away. By the way Ford (in general) or at least my dealer really does a crappy job prepping these vehicles. Not only was the glass poorly cleaned there was a big greasy hand print on the A pillar, dust on the dash, the hard plastic around the window switches was all spotty etc etc. Edited September 28, 2011 by wlepse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Mine was on the outside. If there was any on the inside, It would be gone by the time I prepped my windows for my tint. And yes, the pdi guys suck. I had to come home and clean it after they did. There were even spots on the headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 What did you use on the headliner? I noticed some but was afraid I might make it worse. Right now the wife doesn't notice (which is unusual) but I am afraid I could make it noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlepse Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Thanks for the tips...since it finally stopped raining here I am hoping to get this cleaned up this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whimsey12000 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Did you figure this out? Was it inside or outside? I too have the same round marks. I also have noticed on the front windshield on a sunny day the glass has " sparkles". You can see across the whole window little tiny tiny spots that sparkle. My Honda had the same thing but this window seems even more noticeable. Has anyone found this to be the same on their window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Our suction cup marks dissapeared after a few weeks of rain. I think the wipers just rubbed it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
