the back window leaked in the middle and sides. it was the third brake light gasget. ford put a new one on and it stopped the leak. warranty!

 

By late model, would that include a '98?
My back window seems to leak on the drivers side.
How do I get the 3rd brake light out to re-seal it?

 

I know this is an old thread but it helped with my leaky rear window diagnosis. Finally had the time to do the repair and now it's watertight again. The butyl sealant was very thin and dryed out in the upper left and right window corners and the culprit of my wet interior. It took a few hours and some heavy scrapping/peeling/cleaning to prep it but it was easier then I thought. Thank you for the collective info on this repair! It saved me a ton of money!
