Default Leaking Rear Window

My rear window on my 97 F150 is leaking. Has anyone had this problem? It is leaking right from the passenger top. What did you do to fix it?

I have the same problem but mine is leaking in the center back window, by where the overhead break light is. I bought the truck from my buddy and he said its been doing it since like the 2nd day they bought the truck. But i also wish i knew how to fix it.

you have to pull the back glass and reseal it. This is a common problem in all the F150's this body style.

there is no easy fix other than pulling the window off and resealing it just as skip3920 said... mine has been leaking all night because for some weird reason it decided to snow in georgia.. so now i have a puddle of water sitting in my subwoofer
