Consumer Description

THE TOP TRACK OF THE REAR WINDOW THAT HOLDS THE SMALLER SLIDING WINDOW IN PLACE BECAME COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE BACK WALL OF THE CABIN. THE SMALL WINDOW WAS BEING HELD IN PLACE BY THE LOWER TRACK ONLY. THIS CAUSED THE TOP TRACK AND THE SLIDING WINDOW TO LEAN INTO THE CABIN AWAY FROM THE MAIN REAR WINDOW. IT CREATED AN AIR GAP BETWEEN THE MAIN WINDOW AND THE SMALL WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DAMAGED IN ANY OTHER WAY. IT APPEARS THAT THE ADHESIVE HOLDING THE TRACK IN PLACE SIMPLY FAILED OVER TIME. IN MY OPINION THIS CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE TRUCK HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED, I THINK IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE TOP TRACK AND WINDOW COULD HAVE BECOME COMPLETELY DETACHED AND CAUSED INJURIES TO PASSENGERS IN THE TRUCK.
