[QUOTE="nathaniel selman, post: 1652598, member: 47819"] Marc, Sorry to hear ‘bout your leak, super bummer, but know that man is flawed and unfortunately we make mistakes. But man made, man broke, so I’ll be damned if man CAN’T fix it! Here’s what I found on my 2017 Raptor SCREW: ONE of my leaks was from the roof seam sealant at d/s rear just before the rubber roof drain 90°. It’s a nonhardening sealant that’s painted over and looks like a fat bead of silicon. They applied it from front to rear and stopped just short of fully sealing roof to pillar allowing water enter cab. Bummer part was it moved from Apillar/brake pedal when parked level to flow down d/s b-pillar at rear seat belt bracket and fill wiring trough under entry step covers (Ford performance cover) when parked on incline. Super frustrating when diagnosing! Another leak was in tandem of the first. Rear glass slider plastic drain (located behind rear center headrest) was cracked and allowing water to enter cab instead of seeing outside. Truck leans to rear/driver’s side in driveway and would pool in that corner of the cab until full enough to wick into carpet (caught in time and dried out rear carpet by lifting and allowing to air dry for 2 weeks) and drip into wiring trough under entry step covers. AFTER sealing rear glass plastic drain I washed my truck and noticed water AGAIN in that rear/driver’s corner of cab…GRRRR. It happened to be my rear slider seal on driver’s side failed and folded away from glass so when I rinsed back window from passenger side, it shot straight into cab! It’s summer so I’ll replace before rainy season. First, always check sunroof drains, you can literally take a garden hose and flow water down front two drains, rears I leaned truck rearward and let garden hose water travel down sunroof track to rear drains. Bonus is you also get to check entire sunroof track frame for leaks. Feels weird with a garden hose inside truck with sunroof open but worked for me. Another time I dropped headliner to visually inspect drain tub clamps. I'm sure I missed something but I hope this helps. As hard as water leaks are, don’t give up! Just because you see it at one end doesn’t mean it’s not coming from the other lol. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
