When I had a 98 XLT it developed a crack on the drivers side door. It was right below the lower rear corner of the window.

Mine too. Drivers side. I'm the orginal owner. Will Ford fix? I never got a recall but the Ford body shop said they use to fix these for free?

Me too... ford replaced door for $150 on what they called a "good faith" warranty... took 3 different dealers before I got that though.

(note, it was under my extended warranty, which I dont think normally covers body defects)

i dont have that body style,..but my mom does and of course it is cracked, they all do it, i cant tell you how many i have fixed. ford has a "repair kit" as they call it but it only moves the inevitable crack up couple inches and takes longer to show. the only thing i have ever heard of working was to weld the crack up and weld a thick piece of metal behind it with plug welds, but i havent seen a truck that i have done that to so i honestly dont know how well that worked but if you got your truck fixed at ceiner-woods ford lemme know!

My 1999 super cab never had this problem on the drivers side door. I took good care of it.

'97 SCAB, no cracks at all

I thought I read on here somewhere that Ford found out the cracks occurred above 80mph with the windows up, so now whenever I drive above 80, I roll down the windows first to keep their pressure off the door.
