Cab Corner Rust and 3rd Brake light.

Has anyone definatively answered the source or the cab corner rust on these F150's?

Can the leaky center brake light let enough water come in, hit the window and move to the sides and down to the corners?

Has anyone identified roof rails as the culprit?

I thnik i have caught mine early enough just want to get a real fix.

Thanks(and brand new to forum)

I believe that's just the nature of cab corners on pick up trucks. Every truck I've ever had eventually had some issue with the cab corners

Why can't Ford make a vehicle that doesn't rust through in 8-10 years???? If I spend $30k to $40k, I want it to last.

That's unacceptable.....they've been making trucks for over 100 years.

My 1986, 1989 and 1999 Volkswagens have ZERO rust!!! (yes, it's a little known fact that VWs don't rust!)

What do the Germans know that Ford doesn't????

Please bring the 34 mpg VW Amarok to the U.S.

***Off my soapbox***
