Has anyone had the trim at the base of the rear window on the tailgate crack or otherwise break? Ours broke today, and I'm just wondering what could cause this - there is no sign of a hit from another car, so it just looks like a stress crack.

Also wondering how easy this bit is to replace - it looks like it's stuck to the glass, so I'm guessing not so easy to do.

Anyway, a few photos of the damage (sorry about the poor quality):

apparently it is a common problem.

I dont THINK Ford has a recall or even a TSB on it. Give them a halla' see what is what.
