Cant wait to lift it
We went with Zebart undercoating. I have it inspected yearly and they respray undercoating and wash truck by hand. For our duel wheel truck just the wash is worth it

Well i hope this isnt a sign of my entire ownership. It appears the sunroof or something is already leaking, as there's water dripping out of the front passenger grab handle into the cab already

Hopefully something that simple. It just poured here again for an hour and i backed out of the driveway, and could hear water rushing around up there

My 2015 with 17k miles leaks the same way occasionally.

I keep putting off taking it in to the dealer. Always a PITA.

If you find out what it is and it's a simple DIY kinda fix I'd like to know.

Keep us posted.

Just went out and looked at it. The first 2 pictures are of my 16...the sunroof doesnt even appear to sit flush with the roof. And with minimal pressure, it creates a huge gap. I checked my 03, which sits just a touch over the roof line, and with minimal pressure...is still higher than the 16. Hopefully the sunroof just needs some adjustment or something...and this isnt going to be a huge issue...

Of the 3 that I have had with power glass roofs 2 leaked.
One was a dirty drain line the other was a disconnected
drain line do to a short hose not staying connected to the
fitting at the roof drain. A little section of hose fixed that for
me.

Miles with your being new I would take it in and let the dealer fix it.
I know that is a hassle and takes time.

My 2006 F350 is the only one that has not leaked as of yet.
But now that I said that it will.

That's what "certified" buys you. I just bought mine and it's basically bumper-to-bumper for a year, with the rest of the power train until Jan 2020.
