Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH AND HEARD A HUGE POP ON THE PASSENGER WINDOW AND SOMETHING BLACK FLY BY. WE PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT THE PLASTIC BLACK TRIM ON THE SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD BROKE IN HALF AND THE RUBBER WAS HANGING OFF. I HAD TO CUT IT OFF. AFTER TAKING A CLOSER LOOK, IT APPEARS THERE ARE SEVERAL PIECES OF THE PLASTIC TRIM THAT ARE WARPING AND EVEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE PANEL WAS LOSE SO I'M SURE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS SIDE BREAKS OFF ALSO. I SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM ALSO AND IT WOULD BE NICE IF FORD WOULD DO A RECALL ON THE PANELS, AS THEY ARE NOT CHEAP. EVEN THE BOARD THAT THE TRIM ATTACHES ITSELF TO IS COMING LOSE.
