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.

Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
