Hey! I am new to the forum. I have a fairly new black 2004 F150 4x2 Lariat with wet carpets! I decided to go online and to see how common a problem this is. So far I have found some very useful info here! I scheduled a service appointment for next week Monday - first avail opening. Issue: Its been raining heavy. I found water in the carpet - in the rear seat area. I started looking for water when I discovered the windows were fogged badly after the truck sat in the sun. I will suggest that the service manager check the 3rd brake light. I just hope that the water damage is not too bad. I already found rust on the rear seat frame and mounts.

welcome to FTE...i hope the damage isnt too serious...keep us updated on what happens.

 

My truck is back from service for the water in carpet issue. The 3rd brake light was replaced. There were two small cracks, one over each light bulb - the cracks were not the actual cause of the leak. I was told that the gasket was not properly postioned in its place when the light was screwed into place. This was exactly what I found here on FTE. Thanks for your help!
