Door outer belt mouldings toast in 2 years? Brutal Ford. Just Brutal.

I have a 13 SEL. 50k on it. I have been chasing a door rattle off and on for 18 months. It all started 2 years ago when the door sensor was changed. I had it back into the shop a half dozen times to try and have it fixed and about 6 months ago, dealer finally had most of the rattle gone but not all of it. I decided to turn up the radio instead of trying to fix it further.

 

The small rattle kept getting worse and worse. Used to be just when driving on certain road surfaces but lately it's been rattling on every road except brand new pavement.

 

Had it into the dealer on Thursday for another round of repair. After a whole day and double team techs, they traced it down to the outer belt mouldings on the door. I didn't know what those were but they are the outer window moulding at the top of the door panel. Both sides rattle.

 

Dealer went to the extended warranty company for repair coverage but they won't cover it since it's trim. 2 years Ford? That's how long your mouldings last? Service writer has NEVER heard of this happening at 50k.

 

Am I the lone lemon holder for this issue or does anyone else have this problem?
