problem #2

Jul 232013

Explorer

  • 82,000 miles
Back window flipped open while driving 15 mph in a parking lot. Went to close it and the hinge cracked so the window was hanging by one hinge. Using all my strength I was able to push the window up (extremely difficult given the pump) and close it, although not secure. The window is very heavy and held by a plastic hinge that completely snapped. This is a problem cited in earlier models, and apparently Ford did not rectify the issue. Plastic is not strong enough to hold heavy glass.
