Was on my way to work this morning and noticed water drops falling from the handle on the passenger side. Inspected a little further and noticed a lot of moisture in the cloth around the handle. I have a suspicion (no its not the moonroof (I'm looking at you stupid moonroof thread)) and its the seal around the windshield.

Thoughts? I'm in the office now, so I'll be doing some more looking and poking around after. Anybody know the easiest DIY way of fixing this seal?

Thanks! Pics below...

Satelite radio antennae. On my mobile and cant find the link but there are a few here that talk about this.
I've had this as well.

 

Wow.... Silicone that thing until you can get a permanent fix.

 

You think its that? I'll investigate once I'm off work.

haha chewing gum is my temporary fix while I'm working, I thought silicone would be the permanent fix but is there something better?


If its just the satellite antennae that's great, sounds like the easiest to fix I hope. I'll search for that thread.


Thanks guys!

 

I do... you may be able to search the site here... often times it is easier to use google/bing and search "f150forum satellite antenna leak".
Same symptoms and water marks as is typical with the leak.

There is a TSB out for the leak and gasket replacement. I simply ran a thin beak of silicone/sealant around the mount and the hole in the front of the antenna.

 

Hmm actually, I just left work and it appears the chewing gum at the windshield stopped the leak altogether. Everything is bone dry now. I'm still going to rip everything apart and make sure but this seems to do the trick for now lol

 

Looks like a crumby job on the factory caulk job by your windshield! Most likely the culprit, op that had issues with the Sat Antenna leaking have a gap on the rear of the Sat Antenna rubber surround!

If the gap is on the front center, most likely not the antenna....

 

I had the same problem. It was the satellite antenna. I took a couple of trips to the dealer, but it was eventually fixed under warranty.

 

So you couldn't find red bubble gum?

 

All I had on me was white gum and red PlayDoh, but the red PlayDoh would have dripped red goo inside of my cab.
