If you are sure it is the glass....just go by a window shop and see if they can re-seal it. Also check the seal on the third brake light.

Third brake light seal I would check. It has leaked on both of the f150s that I have owned.

Yeah...mine leaks too. The origional owner said he had the rear glass re-sealed before, but its still leaking. Only if you hit it with a water hose though....it wont leak when it rains.

The rear slider has a seal that very commonly leaks.

To repair, the rear window has to come out.

I've got the procedure bookmarked on one of my other computers since I need to do this repair.

My rear slider leaks only when I go to a carwash, if it rains it doesn't leak.

Any heavy rain would soak my driver side rear seat in the ext-cab. Could never figure out if it was the light or window. I just went out and bought a tube or silicone sealant and neatly put the sealant all around the window and light...anywhere there was a seam that water could get through. Had this problem for over a year now and finally a month ago went this route and NO LEAKAGE as of yet!

If you have the solid back window you can try resealing it. Mine was leaking and smelling moldy in the cab so I went to autozone and bought some sealing cord. Think it was like 10 bucks. Just pop the trim off the inside and carefully undo the nuts holding the window in. Scrape off the old leaking cord and put you new one down. Bolt the window back in and replace trim. Mine hasnt leaked in over a year and dont expect it to any time soon. Now if I could just fix that crappy idle when warm.-Bamadoc

If the slider is the problem, I believe ford has a service bulletin to repair...

What back window do you have JFARM? Seems like alot of us here sealed it ourselves, cost only about $10, and problem free...NO LEAKAGE! Seems to me a guy might try this first, worked for many of us!
