Consumer Description

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD DRIVERS SIDE MOLDING BECAME DETACHED, STARTED SHREDDING (CAUSING A DENT IN THE DOOR) AND BEFORE I COULD PULL OVER, FLEW OFF THE EXPLORER. PART OF THE MOLDING IS STILL ATTACHED (ABOUT 1/4 PIECE). VERY GLAD IT DID NOT HURT ANYONE, BUT WHAT IF A MOTORCYCLE WAS BEHIND ME? THIS DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL THROUGH FORD. WHEN I ORDERED MY PART, ESTIMATED AT #450.00, 3 OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THE SAME DAY, ACCORDING TO THE PARTS COUNTER PERSON.
