anyone have problems w/leaking window seal on rear window of 04 super crew F150?

 

Yep. Common problem on the 04's. There is a TSB out for this issue. The dealer will replace the entire cab brakelight assembly with a new design and gasket (for free). It's a good fix. Had it done to mine - no more problems.

I agree with the brake light. I had the same problem.

is it the window or brake light thats leaking ? should still be under warranty no matter.

 

If the water appears at the top center of the window it is more than likely the light which is directly above. The water comes inside the cab between the inner and outer sheetmetal skins. When looking at it, it appears to be coming from the glass seal but it actually gets in behind the top edge of the light. The seal on mine had slipped inside the light. I used a small amount of silicone to fix it but now that I know there is a TSB I might have the dealer replace it.

 

My 3rd brake light also leaked, and was taken care of under warranty. I would look toward that before the window. Ford knows they are an issue, and has a bulletin for it.
