Anyone thought about that yet? Since the windows rolls up into the lip, Ford's fix to rain gutters, how would u get the door open?

A battery won't die that quickly. You will see signs of it failing long before it stops giving enough power to operate the window.

If you have a cell phone, call 9-1-1...

Oh wait, that is for blonds only.

Crawl through the back, grab the kidnapper handle and exit via the trunk?

uhh, you can still open the door, it's just rubber weatherproofing, right?

Spoke with Ford Tech yesterday. Said same problem with newer model T-bird. They have seen it happen. Said that window didn't break, but screwed up weather stripping and that had to be replaced.

Not always true. I was driving from Austin to Dallas in a 1 year old truck and pulled over at a rest area. I got back in and the battery was completely dead, would not even power the lights inside the car. It also would not jump. I had started it 4 times that morning in Austin driving to different places and it showed no signs whatsoever of trouble. I had to call my wife and have her buy a new battery and bring it to me (luckily I wasn't far out of Dallas). I was really surprised, I had never had a battery just die on me like that before. I did some checking and found out that sometimes the lead post inside the battery can fracture and if it does, you've instantly got a dead battery on your hands.

So yes, the problem mentioned here can happen.

I am lost here, why not just open the door as usual with the handle ???

Good question. I don't think it would necessarily break the window. My driver's side window rubs against that frame every time I open it. It's like it doesn't go down fast enough or something. I think someone else mentioned they were seeing that as well.
