Ford Explorer: '02 Explorer rear glass liftgate trim cracked

This would be the painted piece below the rear lifigate window, about 8"
high and runs between the tail lights. Crack occurred today parked in the 20
degree weather, and runs straight up/down and under the "Ford" oval. It's
wide enough to slip a dime into. This piece is glued/bonded to the lower
part of the glass. Anybody else have this problem? Haven't taken it to the
dealer yet. It's 14 months old with 17,000 miles.

Service Mgr had seen a few last winter, I was 1st this winter. They ordered
a panel, then they/body shop will need it for 2 days, so we will get a
loaner car. He said windshield washer solvent is the problem..?? You can bet
the '04s are using a different adhesive and or plastic panel. It will still
be a high priced repair for ford.
