Had a replacement OEM rear window to fix the rear defroster breaking. F150 KR 2013 35,900 miles(lucky is broke now I guess).

The new OEM window seems really cheap. The glass doesn't seem as thick, defrost lines are fewer and thicker, just over all looks cheap? Am I crazy? It's definetly OEM, is says Carlite Ford on it.

I am clearly stuck with this window as with no labor over $700.

Maybe you are, Maybe you aren't. I got mine replaced a few months back and I thought mine had a lighter tint. But I think I was crazy.....

Haha I was comparing the tint to the windows. I just don't trust Ford dealers.

I think I'm being crazy. Hopefully itll grow on me!!!

Are they covering this under warranty yet?

PAKINGRANCH13

Yes under 3/36 warranty. I made it right before the 36.

Tothemax

Is that coverage change something new? Read the thread dedicated on rear window shatters, and 99% of the guys had to pay out of pocket.

PAKINGRANCH13

My rear window didn't shatter it just stopped working.

Mine is in the shop getting replaced today. Covered under extended warranty, it stopped working but did not shatter.

Tothemax

Ahh, I guess I misunderstood you when you said it broke.

BEW119

I'm sure mine would have shattered if I had kept trying to use it. The led would work intermittently and I caught it there.
My service advisor stated that the problem must be coded as defroster/electrical problem, not glass breakage for warranty coverage.
