My bother came over yesterday and was upset because he had noticed a crack in the rear hatch just below the window (just right of the Ford symbol). We both looked at my Explorer and there was no sign of a crack. I went out to my Explorer today (26 degrees currently) and guess what.. SAME CRACK! This has to be a manufacturers defect.
Based on the previous referenced $250 estimate, I would say something has to be done.
Has anyone been successful in getting Ford to do something about this?
