[QUOTE="Deleted member 12951, post: 1382664"] Well it looks like I have the dreaded cancer in the rear passenger corner cab. I pulled out the interior molding in that corner to see if I could on top of it as I am planning on getting inside of it and apply POR15. Well you cannot get to it. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190807/e0c50eae88d4707266c3893fe73a4841.jpg[/IMG] From below, there is a hole that has the factory duct tape but its too far away to get to the corner. Getting the drill, ugh! Ended up drilling a 1/4” hole after starting with a smaller bit. Stuff just was pouring out of there and as first I thought it was rust. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190807/091dcd9c42738c397974092b593a7eac.jpg[/IMG] Yeah that is a dirt clog in the way, and there was lots of them. It was a crap load of dirt and even grass. I’ve seen people say this happens due to water leaks in 3rd brake light and water collects there. Well that definitely wasn’t the case here. I ended up spending over an hour knocking dirt out of the hole. And there is still more. So how does dirt and mud get in there to sit with no way to escape and just rot away the metal from the inside. This is all too common on these trucks. Looking around, if the tape on all the hole are exposed, I imagine water, dirt and mud can get in there behind the rockers and this corner being at the end, well its all going to collect there. Then look up not too far from the corner is an opening that I think most of the crap gets it there. What a stupid design by Ford.
