Brand New KR - Leaking Water Already!
Howdy all.
Well, until today, I've been just absolutely in love with this new truck. I thought it was pretty much perfect, which it *nearly* is, so far. At the front passenger seat, there is a handle along the windshield. there are two cosmetic pieces covering what I presume to be screws. It rained here all day and I had it outdoors for a good while. Noticed water leaking in from the top cosmetic piece. Seemed to be worse when I had the nose angled down. It stopped raining for a while and the water went away. I thought maybe the door hadn't been closed tight, but then I would have had a "door ajar" alarm. Went out to dinner and it started raining again (made SURE the door was shut). Got home, backed into the garage (which points the nose down quite a bit on the way up the driveway) - sure enough: water everywhere.
Man that sucks. Too much money went into this baby for such a thing to occur right away. I see from searching this forum that this is an ongoing problem for Ford. Anyone else had this problem with the 2005 KR? Did it leak at the same point? What was your fix?
I have a million more questions for you seasoned veterans, but I'll stop at this for now. Gotta catch a flight early a.m. so I don't want to stay up too late thinking about the truck again...
