l have a 2002 model and our neighbor also has one the same year.They told me they loved theirs but they said they were displease with a crack in thebody below the back window glass.l never thought about it but ours has one too!Would this be something that we need to take up with the Mercury dealer or straight from the manufacturer?Or would it have to be covered under warranty?It is obviously a defect but would they just say it is just too old of a car and would not do anything?Anyone else have this experience with their Mountaineer?

l would first talk to the dealer as they can advise if there has been a recall. If not than both you and your neighbor need to call the manufacturer to report this. It may be something they are not aware of yet. Good luck!!!
