The wood trim on the driver door fell off. Unfortunately it was further damaged once it fell off. I went into the ford dealer and they stated that you have to buy an entire door panel for $215 to replace a small strip of wood trim. This is utterly ridiculous. I noticed the one on the passenger door is now starting to fall off. This time I'll put sticky stuff behind it to keep it on.
