Awesome man. Thank you. I bought a 2011 last January and noticed after a rain storm I was getting condensation on the inside of my windshield. Then when I finally got around to a deep clean I noticed water on my passenger rear carpet near the door that came up with the vacuum suction, and this would make sense that my rear window is leaking. This project seems manageable, and probably saves a ton of money.....assuming I don't break anything lol.
@@jadedjay7861 I had a couple issues after further investigation. My third brake like gasket had failed and was leaking. So I fixed that myself. My rear window gasket was leaking along with the sliding window weather strip missing about a 1 inch chunk so it was also leaking. I ended up finding a local shop who put in a new, solid tinted heated glass for $300 total. So I essentially deleted the sliding window because I barely used it anyway and a new window with a slider was a lot more money. But I really like the clean look of a solid glass, and since I had a shop do it it's under warranty. They gave me a discounted price because I had removed the seats and trim to dry the carpet, because my back area was super soaked after a bigger rain storm.
Yep, you gotta take ALL the carpet out to get it dry. Mines currently hanging out on the fence drying. Went to a manual car wash and sprayed it down with dawn and scrubbed it ALL! Now to repair the weather stripping and reinstall carpet!
Thanks for the info. Same problem with my 2010. Didn't know it's a common issue with f150's. So that makes me feel a little better. Thought it was just my dumb luck. Looks like a simple fix. Now just have to find the time to make the repair.
Thanks for the video! Driving in the rain today my son yelled from the back. Dad I'm getting dripped on! I said ohhh nooooooo. This looks manageable but time consuming. Mine is a 2012 also. Guess that sealant lasts about 12 years or so lol
@@redsion23my 2010 started leaking in the same spot. I gutted my truck out completely of carpet and insulation seats and all! Now I gotta get over the fear of handling the window seal myself 😂. But I wanna do it myself ya know!
Does anyone know if the F150s that do not have the power rear window are attached the same way with bolts? I have a 2012 with no power window. I had a guy come out and look at it and said the window is glued in place and not bolted in. I don’t think he had changed one on these trucks before and don’t know how much I trusted that statement. Just wondering if the rear windows with no power window are attached the same way or differently.
Pretty sure there was no gap. It looked that way in the video but I think it's because he had to tear the brown backing tape stuff not the seal itself. That's how I saw it at least
if he would've started a foot or so further to the driver's side, there's a spot designed for the strip to sit right next to the starting part, so that there ends up being a section several inches long where it's basically double width. Assuming the gap of the two ends was butted up close enough though, the squeeze from bolting it back in should've prevented a gap - but not starting in the spot designed to be started from was a strange choice.
I would like to talk to the engineers of this vehicle. You know there is a 40 year old ford sitting in a salvage yard for the last 20 years and its never leaked. Hypothetically speaking.
