This is something funny I noticed but I’m not super serious about it.
I have a 2017 Titanium, and I think other years and trims might be the same, but the wiper controls are on a stick by the steering wheel. The rear wiper has a switch at the end of the stick. To spray the front windshield, you pull the stick, and to spray the rear, you push it. Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Like, you push for the front and pull for the back since it matches the direction of the windshield?
I know pulling the stick for fluid has been the standard for a long time, but on the Edge, it feels backward. I’m sure other cars have a similar setup too. Like I said, I’m not taking this too seriously. I just thought it was a little funny.

I have a 2022 ST and didn’t even realize the rear had a sprayer. I’ll check it later. Haven’t touched it since I got the car last April.
On my 2019, both the front and rear cameras have their own little sprayers. Mind blown yet? I think it’s so cool. But I heard they stopped adding camera washers on the newer models.
The best windshield washer setup I ever had was on my 1976 Ford Capri. There was a rubber ball on the floor you squeezed with your foot to spray the fluid, and a metal ring around it to activate the wipers. Simple and reliable!
Edge got it right… speaking of Edge wipers, the front ones are tough to find at auto parts stores since they fit differently. The rear one is almost impossible unless you go to a dealer. I have a 2019 Edge.
Well, my 2018 just stopped spraying fluid on the front recently. Of course, it had to break now. But I just discovered the rear sprayer works, and I love it! Wish it had broken down in spring instead of now though.
