Default Water leaking inside

Yesterday I noticed water running out of the grip handle on the passenger side of my 2009 F150. Not the door handle, but the upper grip handle you use to get n and out. It was raining out. The only place I can think of where water might be getting in is somewhere along the top part of my windshield and running down inside and down into the grip.

Any other spots one might think? I would hate to replace the windshield to find this is not where it's coming in from.

Had the same problem with mine, it would also drip out of the headliner in the back. I took it to the dealer and they said that both problems were caused by a leak around the brake light on the back of the cab. I have heard of the
sirius antenna causing this also.

find a way to check the inside part of the roof by removing the lining and spay the outside (around and on the antenna) with your water hose. If it leak you'll see it. You suppose to have a gasket around the antenna but many people remove the gasket and put silicone instead. your other option is to go at the dealer (if it's still on warranty)

Great. Me and my bubba skills trying to take the roof liner out. nOT. Hahaha. How does the sirus antenna come off? Pop it off outside or unscrew it from under the liner?

Read the thread? He'll no. I'm a man. We never read directions. That's the last resort after you butchered up your first and second attempts. Haha
