the 2008 EDGE we had, had one that was gold mesh, WORKED fantastic, easy to wash and place back in service.
the 2012 edge we have now uses a paper filter. Last summer we changed it out, lost easy 60% of airflow from vents afterwards. So i washed it out and dried it . air flow went back up substantially. let me tell you, being in a EDGE in 105F heat with almost no air flow will bake your cookies pretty fast
i was surprised the expy did not have one

I am very surprised that the car companies and especially our pet Ford
Do not poll users of their products !!
We also know that the car remains for years and not just a one-time use
Therefore, loyalty remains to the car and its maker
Ford should take our views to ensure they know what people need
not just a race with other car-makers about matters that customers may not need or want
