I have a rear sliding glass window which leaks on the right side (the fixed part of the window) when it rains. My brother has a 98 F250 with the same exact problem. Is Ford taking care of this?

The top of the rear sliding window is leaking into the cab of the truck. This leak has caused a mold and mildew problem with the rear seat and the carpet towards the back of the extended cab. The smell from the mold is at times unbearable, as well as unhealthy.

Ford F-150 2wd, super cab, 8 ft bed. Water is leaking from the head liner in the right rear of vehicle directly above fixed panel of sliding rear window assembly. I spoke to Ford customer service about the problem 2 months ago and they made it sound like it was the first time they had heard about it. I took the truck in to the dealer where I purchased it and they have indicated that the entire rear window assembly needs to be replace, at my expense. Search of your service bulletin section resulted in identification of bulletin #01111 posted Jan. 22, 2001 listed the following. "some vehicles may exhibit a water leak around the rear (sliding) window.. how do I get Ford to do the responsible thing and make this repair.

Windshield wipers come on by themselves. No apparent reason why. There are no shorts or loose wires no one can explain. Back window on truck is leaking went to have fixed. They said that they have replaced a multiple of these windows do to faulty manufacturing but are still making me pay for it. I just don't understand that if they know it is a fault in the window why not recall it instead of making money off of it.

Consumer wasn't able to increase vehicle's speed due to transmission, and gear stayed in first gear. Also, back window was leaking when it was raining. Dealership was aware of problem.

My driver's side door cracked by the window. Dealer replaced door, but told me in all likely hood it will happen again till Ford comes up with a way to fix the problem. I want to know if F0rd is working on this cause I don't feel safe cause if I'm in a acceident will that door hold up under impact. Or if it breaks again will they cover it, warranty is almost up I can't afford to buy a new door every year. But I shouldn't have too or feel unsafe in my veichle.

Rear sliding window developed leak. A friend has a 1998 model with same problem. He has had the seal replaced 4 times.

I am on my second rear sliding window and it is leaking also. I am on my second transmission, and there is a clunking or slapping noise when you come to a stop. A Ford engineer says that this is normal or common on all new Ford pickup trucks. I disagree the truck did not make this sound when it was first new. They have tried 3 or 4 times to fix the popping noise in the dash and have not been able to get rid of it.
