Multiple window seal leaks in my 2 door hardtop

[SPF109]

I've searched extensively in this forum for anyone reporting a similar issue, but have only found that most people have reported leaks in the seams of the hardtop, or in the seal of rear window. In my case, rain is infiltrating in both of the side glass/windows that are built into the hardtop (back clamshell). Each side has rain that is getting in in multiple spots at the top of the window seam and dripping down below.

I'm very annoyed. I shouldn't have to be dealing with this with a new vehicle. Maybe my expectations are too high in thinking that I shouldn't be having rain leaking in.

anyone else have a similar issue?

It's one thing after another for me with my Bronco. Had an oil leak early on. I have an issue with the hood latch disengaging after driving at higher speeds on a highway, and then when I get home - it triggers the alarm to go off. Now I have this issue. Sigh...

my car has the same thing, dealer took it though the wash and said “we were unable to duplicate your concern” definitely not as bad as yours. my vehicle is currently at the dealer. dropped it off yesterday. manual trans oil leak and it needs a transmission. i feel the same way i don’t know if it’s even worth keeping. 4k miles on mine

mine is also passenger rear

My passenger side rear window had excessive wind noise, took dealership twice to figure out that the window had almost no sealant used on that side. Fixed under warranty. No water leaks ( I live in the PNW so it has been tested)

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

How did they fix this? just curious. do they have to take the top off to take this windows out, or is it a full replacement of top

Have the people that have had leaks remove their hard top? I have not noticed any leaks yet, but also, have not removed my hard top yet.

I've had but the leak is coming from window seal.

It's more than likely will just be to replace the seal on the windows. When you get a new top, they use the old windows anyways. The windows don't come with the top.
