I’m guessing global windows will no longer work for the rear windows on these models as well.

So glad I have a 21. And yes, I doubt that the global window down would work for the rear without this feature.

I have a unicorn, it seems.

It's funny to me how we over complicate everything, likely to create opportunities to increase revenue, and it bites us when our just in time delivery/manufacturing system is pinched. I remember my 1987 subaru that had one touch front windows (didn't have rear just front two) and all it was, was a mechanical difference in the switch itself and a sensor on the window motor that stopped when the resistance and load increased (the window was at a top or bottom). It worked for 250k miles and 10 years just fine. Now we need a fancy module in every door and like 2 or 3 others.

Something so basic... I feel for folks trying to buy these things right now.

We show a $50 credit for its removal plus another $50 credit for the removal of the stop/start option.

I got the $50 for the auto second row removal. I was not able to remove the start/stop option. I am not sure if that is a mileage issue on the SPP or if that option does not carry over to the SPP. I guess I will find out once it gets here.

I am going to miss the feature on my BMW that allows me to hold the unlock button as I walk up to the car and have all 4 windows open along with the sun roof. On hot days the car cools to ambient temp immediately by doing that. I think that is what I will miss the most.

I can do that with my 2020 Exp and my 2022 F150. If you have Forscan you can enable it. I can roll them up or down with the remote.

$50 credit for not having it.

Makes me wonder how much a Ford dealer might charge for parts to add this feature. Guessing many times more….
