leaks
Just found a leak in my new SC. 
After the last couple days of rain the windshield supposely has a leak. I get a slow dripping from the passenger handle (mounted next to the windshield). If you have not driven in the rain I advise you to hose down the vehicle with a stong hose to simulate rain to ensure your windshield seal is good.
Hopefully it is a one day fix. The Ford deal contracts that out. They can only fix the windshield if the vehicle is dry. Since it has been raining a lot here the Ford dealer will have to take apart the side and fan dry it.

I know someone who works at the plant. He works in the part of the plant that fixes all the screw-ups like forgot a piece here forgot some epoxy there. You know, that kind of stuff!
He said that up until about a month ago the plant was running so fast that they were getting about 100 - 200 junk (what he called trucks that had problems after going through the line) trucks a day!
Makes you wonder!

My truck was started on 9/25, delivered on 9/29. I guess it was finished on Friday. It was the moonroof that was leaking. The conduit that runs the drainage down the frame was only half done. Other than that I love my truck.
