Why did Ford go with the WIndow Auto Drop or whatever it is called to enter or exit the vehicle? I have owned many frameless window vehicles over the years and none have had the feature and work and seal just fine. For a vehicle that will be used in bad weather, seems like a really stupid idea. We have had multiple ice storms this year where the vehicle is encrusted in a cocoon of sorts. No way any window is moving. I can run my vehicle for an hour and the windows will still be stuck.

Mustang people in my area seems to have a lot of issues. Thankfully they are more of a fair weather car to a lot so the impact is more limited unlike a 4X4.

I’ve had the option in my mustangs and have had zero issues with foul weather. I’ve driven through plenty of rain soaking days and it’s been fine.

Ice not rain is the issue. Big difference.

My Mustang had zero issues as well. Yes it was garaged 99% of the time, but there were a couple times when I had to leave it out and it had a decent layer of ice on it. I didn't have any issues.
