That's good, though i'm speaking only for those of us with 97-03 f150's. As far as i know as well there weren't any issues with leaks until the fleet was several years old

I was under the impression it was all of the '97-'03 F150's that ha the leak issue, not just the sliders. The reason being because of the faulty sealant they used. Also times two on having a window repair shop come out and do it for you. Most will come to your house and do it and the most important part, they warranty their work. Had to have mine done rich after I bought it, been almost a year now and absolutely no leaks.

I've never had my solid back window leak as long as I had it. Ten again I replaces the seal before it had a chance to start. Need it or not I did it lol.

Far as taking it somewhere to do it for ya. I didn't have the money they want so dd it myself for 20 bucks and not hard to do. Just make sure it's clean when put back together.

They didnt make a power window but some dealers sold it as a aftermarket item you could buy from them and they would add it on. You can still buy them.

Don't quote me but I thought you could get the power slider from the factory in the 03.

Power slider was available from 2002 + up for our f150's. Actually these trucks are actually prewired for it.

I bought the power rear slider , switch and dash surround from a wrecked 2002 Harley F150 and installed it. It was just a plug and enjoy addition.

Hint: (Check car-part.com. Thats where I got my complete setup)

Attached is a picture showing the location of the factory switch, below the headlight switch next to the adjustable pedal option.

I have an 03 f150 king ranch and it came factory with the rear power sliding window and I have never had a problem with it leaking. Either they figured it out before they made mine in 03, the guy that owned it before me fixed it, or I am just lucky lol. I will keep my fingers crossed.
