Factory lid on Screw,will it leak?

[rennyboy]

I am getting the hard top lid put on next week from Ford, when I got the truck, 07 Lariat, I didn't want to wait so I am bringing it in next week. The dealer told me they don't leak but I have been reading the forum and wasn't sure about that. I am reading where most people have some type of leak, but not sure if this applies to the hard top lid also. Can anyone who has one or had one at some point let me know what they experienced. Thanks in advance

I had the local Ford Dealer send one down here a few weeks ago for me to work on. They couldn't get it to work right at all. The biggest problem is the hinge and rail design on it is garbage, there was no way to keep the clamps from rotating and twisting the rails and thus the locking mechanism would never work right. I ended up selling them an ARE to replace it and the dealer allowed they would never get another one from Ford Parts again after they looked at the ARE LSX series, especially since it was $100 less and came with keyless entry and an interior light and a lifetime gaurantee.
