| Crack and rust rain gutter left and right side above doors. this is the second bronco i have owned that did the same thing. the other bronco was a 1987 (?) or so it was fixed at least 2 times by ford but crack came back. this bronco did same thing ford said there is no fix. there should be one or monetary compensation as it is a known reoccurring problem. the rust is getting bad now and they don't want to know anything. they were notified of it while it was under warranty they put body sealer on the cracks to seal them until it peeled and flaked off. *ak | |||
