WATER LEAK

Has anyone had a water leak in their roof? I have noticed in a good rain that when I drive away there is water running off the headliner near the rear slider. The liner is not damp to the touch. The truck (09 f150 Standard cab) does have the sat radio in the roof. I have also noticed that the inside of the 3rd brake light is damp? Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

I don't know about the 2009+ F150's...but on the 2004-2008 models the 3rd brake light seal was known to leak. Might be something to look into

don't know about the 3rd brake light, but the taillights and headlights on mine had moisture in them and I asked the service guys what the deal was... They showed me the service manual that said the 09 and newer lights have built in vents to account for elevation/humidity/etc changes and they would dry out themselves after a few days... sure enough they did. Again, not sure about the 3rd brake light, but that would make sense if they built a vent into all the other lights on the truck...
