Rear Window Leaking

My 2004 F-150 Lariat is about 2 months old now and the rear electric sliding window is leaking. Has anyone else had this problem? I'll probably take it to the dealer this week when they do the oil change. I have to say that out of every single Ford truck I have had with a sliding rear window, every single one of them has leaked until they were replaced. Every one. I even told the dealer when I bought it I would rather not have a sliding window but they all had them with the package. Just wondering how many others had the same problem. Last time there was a recall and had to wait over a month they were so back ordered replacing all the windows.
Thanks for the info.

My power rear slider rattled when it was new (in Dec. '03) but it never leaked. I had the TSB completed that stopped the rattle and now the window works great.

I am in South FLorida also. Just went to my dealer this morning for the first free oil change and they said since the rain they have had 6 leaking windows of the new Ford F-150. They called the certified dealer for the glass rear window and they were told that they are getting swarmed with the leaking windows. They have a new window seal that replaces the original seal of the sliding window. They were out of them since all the claims but they were receiving a bunch in by Friday so the dealer scheduled my truck for Monday morning at 8am to replace the seal and they said they were going to flash my computer to see if it is any better for throttle repsonse etc.
Just FYI. Check those rear sliders good. One note is that with normal rain it did not get any water inside but when i wash the truck and the water pressure from the hose soaks the inside of the back window.
