The contact owns a 2002 Ford f150. The contact stated that the windshield was loose and water was in the vehicle whenever it rained. The water would short out the electrical boxes in the vehicle which had to replaced at his own expense. He took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the seal on the windshield caused the defect to occur. The dealer told him that even if he replaced the seal it would not guarantee that it would stop the leak. The manufacturer didn't offer the contact any assistance with the repair cost. The current mileage was approximately 130,000. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
Original windshield seal began leaking water inside cab and into dash compartment resulting in electrical failure. The leak originated in the driver side valley on top of the cab of the truck. The valleys allow water to flow directly to and pool up at the windshield when vehicle is parked. I remedied this by caulking the area to prevent further water damage.
Water leaks through left side of windshield causing fuse box to short out, windshield wipers and radio stop working, very dangerous. Ford is aware this is a common problem but refuses to fix.
Windshield leak on the left side shorted out the fuse box.
