STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
SUBMITTING THIS FORM AFTER NOTICING A CRACK HAD FORMED IN THE DOOR SKIN IN THE LOWER RIGHT OPENING WHERE THE WINDOW IS. NOTICED THIS DEFECT IN MANY VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND ALTHOUGH AM AWARE OF A QUICK FIX THAT FORD IS PERFORMING, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS SATISFACTORY DUR TO THE PRICE AND AGE OF THE VEHICLE. FEEL THAT THIS REQUIRES A NEW DOOR WITH STRENGTHENED POINTS WHERE THE CRACKS HAVE APPEARED. THE CRACKING POINTS TO WEAKENED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND POSSIBLY A SAFETY HAZARD IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE DOOR STRUCTURE IS WEAKENED.*AK
