Summary

Roof opening panel – creak noise above driver and/or passenger rear doors over bumps – built on or before 11/16/2015

FORD:

2015 Edge

ISSUE:

Some 2015 Edge vehicles equipped with a roof opening panel and built on or before 11/16/2015 may exhibit a body creak-type noise in the area above the driver and/or passenger rear doors when driving over bumps.

This may be due to the C-pillar body sheet metal rubbing on an interior panel and/or a metal tab on the roof opening frame in the grab handle area rubbing on the C-pillar body panel.

ACTION:

Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Remove the two side curtain airbag screws on the driver side curtain airbag to access the grab handle sheet metal location. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-20. (Figure 1)

2. Measure 15 mm (19/32”), mark dimension A and draw a line across. (Figure 2)

3. Measure 50 mm (2”), mark dimension B across the line drawn in step 2. (Figure 2)

4. Using a 3.5 mm (9/64”) drill bit with a drill stop approximately 5 mm (3/16”) deep, drill a hole in the C-pillar body sheet metal where dimension A and B intersect.

5. Measure approximately 50 mm (2”) from previously drilled hole and mark.

6. Using a 3.5 mm (9/64”) drill bit with a drill stop approximately 5 mm (3/16”) deep, drill a hole in the C-pillar body sheet metal.

10. Increase the gap between the roof opening panel frame tab and the adjacent sheet metal to approximately 5 mm (3/16”). (Figure 3)

11. Repeat Steps 1 through 10 for the passenger side.

12. To install, reverse the removal procedure. Refer to WSM, Section 501-20.
