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.

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.
