STARTED REAR DEFROST DUE TO FOG ON THE WINDSHIELD. DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES AT 25 MPH AND HEARD A VERY LOUD POP. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HIT THE ROOF. PROCEEDED TO WORK AND LOOKED AT THE REAR GLASS. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SPIDERWEB. TAPE WAS PLACED ON THE WINDOW IN AN EFFORT TO HOLD SHARDS OF GLASS THAT WERE FALLING OFF. AS I WAS TAPING ADDITIONAL SMALL GLASS SHARDS WERE FOUND. FORD IS UNWILLING TO ADMIT THAT ANY OF THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO A PRODUCT DEFECT. THIS WILL COST AROUND 600.00 TO REPLACE AND OF COURSE A DAY OFF WORK.
