I have the same door crack around the window as many others. I talked to the dealer that I bought the truck from, B ut my extended warranty does not cover this type of defect. I then went to the Ford dealer in town to see if Ford was doing anuthing to correct this issue and save the structural integrity of the door. I was told they had a repair kit that was being installed free of charge but I am out of the factory warranty and will have to pay between $500 and $700 to repair.
