I noticed that small touch they added, just like Jeep does. I like it.

Has anyone noticed this at the bottom of the drivers side windshield....what does it mean? It is obviously patented by Ford.....

It's an acoustic laminate glass. There is a vacuum gap between the glazings for sound absorption. I think it first showed up on the Lincoln MKS back in 2010 or 2011.

So while washing my truck today I noticed what looks like a piece if string in the front camera.. I could be wrong but it just doesn't seem like something that should be there
Assuming I'm right and it's not normal does anyone have info on how to remove the trim piece on the camera?

I think I saw that flying across the sky last night! It must be a stealth weapon of some kind.

I believe it is a heating element to keep the cover from getting iced over.

Either that or the cathode for the particle beam weapon .

If it is defrost, I don't think it defrosts very well, every time I drive in heavy snow, I get warnings on the dash that the camera is obstructed. Seems to ice up right where the camera is. It's pretty annoying cause driving in dangerous conditions is probably when I need it most.

It's normal.
Pretty sure we all have that up there.

The fact that it's not straight across would aggravate my OCD...

I try not to think about it for exactly that reason.
Not a big fan of "crooked".
