Yea that would be a pretty awful engineering decision if the windows started shattering or something in cold weather. I wouldn't worry about it. Mine didn't do that at all last winter.

Do the coups windows slide down when the door is opened? I thought only the verts did this.

Oh and one more thing, I hate it when it rains because when I open my door all water drips onto my tan cloth seats and leavers water spots...it sucks very badly.

If your worried about the windows freezing to the rubber weather stripping a small amount of petroleum jelly rubbeed around the seal can keep it from freezing. I had an IROC Camaro that actually tore a chunk out of the seal until used it. I haven't had any trouble with the Mustang in two years but they don't stick at all.
