Exploding rear window

Everyone has glass coverage as part of comprehensive. However, some companies don't have separate glass deductibles available (and some don't know to ask for them). Even if they do, they may have a deductible on the glass portion. A few states have zero glass deductible requirements.

Been following with interest. In NE FL don't often have a need for this feature, but looked on my 13 Lariat & passenger side bottom corner of window has a black wire & a yellow wire that have a slide-on connector to the tab on the window. Driver side bottom corner has a black wire with slide-on connector to the tab on the window. All three easily disconnected with long nose pliers. Just let seat back down and pull insulation on back of cab out just far enough to reach connector with pliers. Will disconnect & tape up as soon as rain stops. Hoping mirrors will still defrost & understand no "on" indicator on switch now.
Sounds quite reasonable what someone said about glass heats & expands in a metal frame that won't move = glass shatters.
Thank you all for your input.

Whatever the case, Ford hasn't been able to figure out a fix for several years. This and other Ford specific issues that they refuse to address are causing me to lose faith in them. I know that I would never buy a Ford product again... would probably lease, but never own.

Just look at the drive line klunk that is still there after all these models!

Since I've read these threads... I realized I never once had defrost on a rear truck window before. So, I pulled the fuse.
Does anyone know if my heated mirrors will still work?

The mirrors will still defrost. However the indicator light on the button won't work.

Nevertheless, I'm still wary and it hardly is ever foggy or stayed fogged long enough that I would need it on.
My mirrors on the other hand I want to use more often, but I wait till I really need them after it snows and they're 100% icy.

Mine did this for a while until the rear window broke with using the remote start. The dealership gave me a 2 year warranty so I use it all the time and with the remote start. If it still works after 2 years of ding that, it should be ok? If not, they will replace it at no cost.
