The windshield cawl ( bottom piece that goes across windshield) has deteriorated. Making a whistling sound going down the road.

Oem Ford gen 4 sync 3 nav apim suddenly started sporadically functioning. Contacted Ford after viewing multiple recalls from previous years Ford vehicles with exact issue. After being told there was no recall on my 2019 Explorer, was given a quote of $170. 00 to diagnose issue, $900 + for apim module, plus installation and programming. We purchased a re-programmed apim module and installed. Problem is now corrected. Recall needs entered on this unit.
