Cab leak
Hi guys!
I have a serious problem. I have a 2005 FX4 extended cab truck. I backed out of my driveway yesterday and water sloshed onto my left foot!!! I thought the replacement windshield had a leak so I took it back to them. They pulled up the kick panels next to the seat that cover the wire routing channels and both sides were about to overflow. They air/foam tested the windshield to confirm there were no leaks. To be sure, they took it next door to an auto top company who puts in sunroofs and convertible tops. They told me that so far they have found 2 body seams that needed to be fixed and that there was a part around both the passenger and driver's door that needs to be replaced but that Ford is giving them the run-a-round about the part (which runs about $50 and 3 hours of labor for each side at $65 an hour for the auto top place to put it in). They said they can't guarantee that it will fix the leak either. Has anyone else had this problem? I was told they can pull the drain plugs out and put the truck back together and I'm seriously considering that. I can't see spending $700 (I owe them $197 right now for diagnostic and fixing 2 body seams) if it's not guranteed to fix it. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
