For the best appearance, low-noise and long-term durability I recommend an aluminum aero-style roof rack. This type will be lighter than a steel bar rack, naturally non-corrosive and quieter in operation; and for this, I highly recommend going with Yakima for overall durability, noise reduction and ease of use.

The Yakima rack that fits your 2017 Ford Edge with panoramic glass and flush side rails consists of parts # Y00428, # Y79AR, and # Y64AR.
