Wife came back from school and told me the problem. We have a 2004 Ford Explorer with a crack on the rear trunk lid below the rear glass where the Ford emblem is, looking through the internet and found out that there are a handful of complaints regarding this panel becoming crack what so ever and still no recall.
I have an 2004 Ford Explorer with the crack in the panel below the rear window/hatch. I think that Ford motor corp needs to repair these for all of the customers who have purchased these vehicles and are having issues with the crack leading to water damage.
