I've had my 2007 for 5 years and used my sunroof and sunshades with no problems all seasons. The main concern is to keep the rails clear of debris. I try to clean them once a year to keep everything closing smoothly.

2007 FWD SEL Great Vehicle, Very happy! 100k

Look for the topic "Changing the serpentine belt on a 2008 Edge". This is covered there. Good luck.

I too had trouble with this and even went and bought a "slimmer" breaker bar which I returned. I endied up using a large adjustable wrench on the square top of the tensioner and it worked great. There are some good posts on here if you're doing the stretch power steering belt also. Hope this helps.

Stang93, Congrats! What type of maintenance are you doing and how often? Synthetic oil? Oil change interval, forgive me if you stated it already. Whatever you're doing is working!

I've been using MC synthetic Blend in my 07 Edge (which has almost 100000) on it since I got it with 10k. It costs about $25 at Walmart including including Fram oil filter when I do it myself, 5 1/2 qts. I change it every 6k miles as it's mostly highway miles from commute. PaulSchott, what synthetic are you using and at what interval are you changing it? I'm thinking of going to full synthetic (Mobill 1?) since I'm getting up there in miles. Anyone have a synthetic they recommend?

I just got home from a road trip and got 24.8 (all highway obviously) mpg so I guess my tune up was a success. Not bad for an 07 pushing 100k and Maine speed limits! Think I was getting around 22 before.

TheWizard, I agree that CR's reports on new cars can be lousy and over simplified. Consumer Reports has engineers to evaluate the vehicles which is noteworthy , but if they don't like a feature (Sync) they will lower the rating considerably. One other note, their reliability ratings are based on subscriber surveys on their own cars and I think this is the most important automotive info they offer.

On my 07 I tried green EBCs as an upgrade from the stock pads. They were disappointing, lousy bite and dirty. Then I got Hawks all around and I was surprised by the braking performance...and they are a lot less dusty than the EBCs! Highly recommended.

Check Consumer Reports, 07 Edge above average reliability. Mine's been great to 95k, a couple things but nothing major at all....and quiet. CR has a BIG problem with The Sync/My Ford touch thing and it brings their overall ratings down big time on new Edges. I like CR as I think they are more unbiased than any mag (at least they don't have a inside cover opening ad for a 1990's Caprice and have it as car of the year in the same issue). In response to an earlier post, they don't always favor imports, in fact I've seen CR be very critical of them also. I would by my 07 Edge SEL in a heartbeat.

The one I got from ebay was the most current at the time, a 12P. The one that came with the car was a 4P. Every couple years they upgrade the DVD with new roads, POIS etc. and send a flyer to entice you to buy the 150 dollar disc. I was looking on eBay to get a more current, but not necessarily the most current, Ford DVD. Any version should work in your 07 (that what I have with the stock Pioneer head unit). The one I got on eBay is a burn but it works perfectly. If you don't want to risk a burn, you should be able to buy a 8P real Ford DVD or so for a decent price. Just get any DVD in good condition and you'll be good to go.

This is an old thread but I'll throw something out anyway. I've been using Mothers back to Black for the black trim on my 07 Edge and its been a decent way to keep the trim black. However, I just applied Re Nu pro and it has really impressed me so far. I used it for the front and rear lower panels, the antennas ( front and rear satellite) cowl panel, and rear wiper so far and they look wet black. I still need to do the lower rocker panel trim which I'm sure will make a big difference. I have the panoramic roof so I will apply it to the 2 trim pieces running the length of the roof. I don't have any wax residue on the trim, but the car is 7 yrs old so the trim is definitely fading. I'll post in a few months to see how it's holding up with the weather. It was $25 on Amz for the large size which is probably enough to do everything on the truck at least twice, maybe three times. My Edge is black so sometimes it's hard to see if I got some on the paint, but Windex will take it off before it dries, as per the directions. It's messy, but it comes with a pair of latex gloves, 2 applicators and a terry cloth. We'll see how it hold up.

I noticed that my lift handle/trim panel on my lift gate for my 07 edge was loose. I think the 07s were the only hatches with no separate exterior indent handle on the bottom of the lift gate. The 07s have a release button and lift grip in the same place. I removed the inner trim panel of the hatch by removing the 4 screws in the 2 close handles on the bottom of the hatch and carefully pulling down the trim panel. It popped off very easily with no tools, much to my surprise. I tightened the trim panel with deep sockets and it tightened it up nicely. I then popped the trim panel back up, put the screws in the handles and slapped the panel tight. The trim panel is the hatch panel with the Ford emblem. I love this truck!

Good info, I'm running MotorCraft Syn Blend at 6-7k Hwy interval (w/ filter) and I have 95k on my 07 Edge with no sweat. I know that doesn't answer your question regarding switching back but I think the two previous posts have cleared that up. I'm hoping to get 200,000 on my Edge and the way it's running I don't think it will be a problem.
