ISSUE:
Customers with concerns of glass fogging (film) and with the chemicals that cause this fog can be advised that Ford Motor Company has extensively tested this material and found that it is not a health hazard. The film is caused by some of the chemicals used during the manufacture of the interior trim.

ACTION:
At the present time, there is no known field fix to prevent the window fogging, however, glass cleaner such as Ford Glass Cleaner (E4AZ-19C507-AA) has been found to be the best for film removal.
