Thanks for this. I had an unknown water leak and someone pointed out the stains in my grey headliner. I thought it might be related to the rubber strips with rivets on each rear exterior side but this is most likely the answer. I have a 2013 model and have never changed or checked this.

On my ‘10 F150 it ended up being the rear window that was leaking. On the top left I could clearly see a gap in the seal. When I put a water hose up to it my headliner immediately got left. Fixed it with Flowable Silicone. No more leaks or wet headliner!

My 2016 f150 has the same issue already and is out of warranty, Ford really needs to re design this 3rd brake light/seal to better keep water out. My cargo,puddle,tailgate,bed lamps also have a mind of their own and turn off and on all day and night I wonder if this is related..although I suspect the switch it the bed is the reason for this... Your videos are great 👍

I had this issue with my 2010 and it rusted my cab corners out. I was a few days past the 5yr corrosion warranty by the time it achieved the "rust through " required by Ford and then Ford denied my claim and I had to pay out of pocket to fix it. Not sure how this hasn't ended up as a recall or in court as a class action lawsuit. Good to know there is a replace to to fix the issue and also how to get the stains out of my headliner. Be ordering both soon. Thanks for the tip on cleaning the headliner!

Had this issue on my '04 F150 and my current '09 F150. Thankfully I caught it both times before it stained the headliner. Replaced the light on my '09 a couple years ago and went with a recon light instead of oem. The dealer wanted $250 for the oem light and I didn't trust it was going to be any better than the one I was replacing. The recon had a much thicker gasket and was less than $90 when I purchased it.

First, I appreciate all you videos. As opposed to buying a new third brake light cover, why not just use a bead of silicone caulk on the inside and outside?

I had already suspected an issue with the light as the previous owner had done a grade school level of silicon sealing it with Black RTV , including the crack on top of the light. I've had the truck about a month now. I took the truck out today in the rain and saw water come from the center of the headliner / windshield area onto the dash , I suppose braking could cause it to flow to the front ? Wondering if you could make a gasket from door seal material ?

Great video, that cleaner looks to be awesome stuff. I have a 14 F150 that had that problem, and even the new cover and gasket didn't fix. I ended up making my own gasket out of 3/4" outdoor weather stripping from HD, hasn't leaked in over 2 years now. The new gasket Ford uses is very porous, and actually absorbs water like a sponge instead of repelling it. The 15 and up F150 appear to have the same brake light assembly, have you seen any water issues with the new body style?

I just changed mine to an aftermarket smoked light and a few things are different. It was a pain to pull off the rear pushpins for headliner inside cab even with the panel prybar to access the connection point of wire to plug in the new light. there is a pushpin holding the cable/connection point to the truck that is put in from inside the cab. I decided to just pop the pushpin out from outside the truck through the brake light hole and just not secure that back down and the job was much easier and I didn't have to go find the right color headliner pushpin if I broke it getting it out or risk damaging my headliner.

Great video.. but I have a leak coming out of the bottom passenger pillar screw cap.. I check the third brake light seal and it not leaking . I removed the third brake light and stuffed a dry paper towel right behind it. Then I waited for it to rain . I live in the northwest so I didn't have to wait long. Sure enough my pillar leaked. I checked the towel the next day and it was dry as a bone. Next I pressurized the can by turning on the HVAC to recirculate and put my compressor hose in on full blast and shut the door. After that I made up some thick suds and went around all my exterior seals including all window. No bubbles ! I can't find a leak to save my life. Any suggestions ?

i thought my 2010 was leaking around the 3rd brake light, but after replacing it i found out it still leaked water at the top left of the glass from inside.turn's out it was the seal around the outer edge of the back glass that was the gremlin, the corner had slide out of place,replacing it was easy, so you might consider a video on that issue if you have the time. a $15 roll of 3M 3/8" window sealant fixed her right up with plenty of tape to spare,plus in an afternoon your good to go,tho cleaning the old sealant off is a big pain lol

the 2004-2008 can develop a leak on the passenger side under the kick panel and carpet edge molding/trim. (could be confused with a firewall A/C drain leak) Water sets in the channel and rots the floor near the kick panel (low spot where the wiring lays). Reseal the floor inside and underneath the cab. (floor grommet located on bottom side, under passenger right foot area, will rot-out and lets water sneak between sheets of steel floor) check behind the fuse panel area on the passenger side too. (There is a grommet there as well as the wiring connector from the door could leak). Also, front fenders may have gunk/old leaves etc building up at the bottom ...open door slightly to see into bottom of fender...spray with hose until it clears. (fenders may not be related to the interior leak but while you're down there...) Use POR15 quart can with a brush for floor and wiring channel.

About the only problem our service truck at work hasn't had out of the list of problems with that gen of ford truck has had. I think you said there had been issues in the wiring to the cam sensors on the 5.4. like to see a diagnose video as the CEL has been on about 3 years for cam sensors and replacing them didn;t help.

my 08 dome light didn't wor,k, so I took it apart and found moisture stains and rust of the electrical contacts inside the Dome light fixture. I'm wondering where did the water come from ? My headliner looks ok ... could it have been the same reason ? the exterior brake light ?

I did a temporary fix on my old third brake light The rubber gasket foam was no good I cleaned it up as best as possible I put a bunch of marine grease underneath Try not to put too much because it’ll run out on your paint when it’s raining

I cannot get the housing to be flush with the truck, I bought an OEM replacement, I think the lack of a 3rd screw in the middle is also a problem. I may go get some transparent caulk and do a bead around the seal.

Is there any link between the leaking brake light and cab corners rotting out?

Silicone or butyl caulk would also seal up the poorly designed seal area. This water leak has also lead to many a rusted out cab corner on many a F150. I think designed that way on purpose, so they do not last as long as the older well built trucks. And it is not just Ford, it is the way everything is engineered these days.
