Leaking cargo light (again)

[QUOTE=bri687;10966105]well I might try this product to see if it works unless anyone see a reason not to.

I looked at that permatex and was thinking of using it but it said it was silicone with adhesive and I’m afraid I won’t be able to get the light off again if it leaks again within out damaging the paint due to the adhesive. I’m curious did you use it and did it work. Because I’m about to fix my 09 F150 King Ranch tomorrow. For like the 3rd time.

Ford has updated the part. There's a better gasket. It would be better to just install the new, updated part with the better gasket.

Use Ford's website. Use your VIN. Get the exact, correct part number for your truck.

Was that a question? The last post on this thread was in 2011. It's now 2025. This is a thread for 2004 - 2008 model years. You have a 2009.

use RTV ... lightly around a new gasket, do not over tighten it .. you will crack the lens and it will leak. ask me how I know.
