Took my 2015 truck to a detail shop after weeks of rain finally stopped. I noticed a rattle it sound like a pine needle at first then kept getting louder today I noticed a part ( see photo)

Thanks detail shop!!
on my sliding window is broken. Talked to Ford they said my window will need to be replace to fix this problem. Any ideas

 

Yeah. Go back to the detail shop.

 

We all know what the detail shop is going to say....

 

exactly!

The glass shop said it doesnt come on the middle window if you replace just that part. Might be on the motor harness can anyone confirm

But looks like its on the glass to me so confusing https://www.superdutydepot.com/p/For...Z2542052A.html

 

Aren't they the connections for the heater grid?

 

It turns out the top rail was popped loose on the same side. After investigating I came to the conclusion someone was pulling on the window like they though it opened manually. I asked my 2 kids (ages 6-7) if they tried to open the window and they admitted trying to get it open but they were not strong enough. Talked to the dealer they only sell the entire back window as a kit he offered me a deal at $621 after explaining what happened. The cost of install is about $325 so this is going to cost about $1000 to fix. I think my girlfriends dads truck has a manual slider on his truck and the kids just did not know any better. If you have small kids you should explain to them they cannot open that window it might just save you $1000. Thanks for the responses!

 

I can't tell from the picture but it looks like it could be fixed? What is affected by it in this state? Defroster? Open/close operation?

 

I agree but the issue now is the entire window is loose because the kids pulled the track loose too. It looks like I could fix that too but my concern is water leaking if its not perfect. I have all my audio equipment behind the rear seat so its not worth the risk. I have another quote for $721 I think replacing it is the best option.

 

I just talked to Safelite they quoted me $548.10 and claim its OEM with solar tint, defroster & power. I am taking it to them on Wednesday to get it replaced.

 

Check your insurance too some will replace windows covering 100% without deductible or claim penalties.
