I have noticed when taking my truck through a wash it appears as though the rear window on the driver's side is leaking. Reading some other posts it sounds like it might be water coming through the third brake light. Any thoughts or suggestions.

To help the rear glass is solid (no slider)

 

The only thing I've seen leaking is the third brake light, I think there is a TSB, let me see if I can find it.

• WATER LEAK FROM HIGH MOUNT STOP LAMP

2004 F150
ISSUE:

Some 2004 F-150 vehicles may exhibit a water leak from the high mount stop lamp. The leak may be described as a water leak at the headliner, the back glass, wet seat covers and/or carpeting.
ACTION:

Verify water is entering through the high mount stop lamp assembly. Replace the high mount stop lamp assembly as needed. Refer to the following verification procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE


LEAK VERIFICATION

1. Turn the fan motor (climate control motor) on high, in the non-recirculating mode.
2. Close all windows and doors.
3. Spray a soapy water solution on the outside of the high mount lamp housing. If bubbles form around the lamp housing, replace the assembly.

 

ok thanks for the help. Is that a recall that was never taken care of or something i will have to do on my own. Don't care either way just want to know if i gotta pay or not.

 

It's not a safety issue, so they wouldn't recall it.

The TSBs are covered by the standard warranty normally. Otherwise it's out of pocket.

Compare prices at your local dealers and tascafordparts.com

 

ok. My truck is way out of warranty so i will start the price check. Thanks again for the info.

 

No problem.

 

Would be a nice excuse to upgrade to LED as well, I just did...hope it fixes the leak in mine too.

 

That is the plan what did you get and price?
