You can always tell when someone has years of experience at their craft. Major respect to the old timers like yourself who spread their knowledge. I wouldn't have thought the beauty ring came out after the glass. 👍🙂

Perfect how to video. Everything happened exactly as explained with the exception of the window lifting out easily. I had to work mine a little because the old seal material was holding it in in spots. Also, I found it easier just to take my headliner completely out so I wasn't fighting it. That was easy enough, and added only 5 minutes to the job. Thank you for taking the time to post this!

Can’t thank you enough for this, I have the exact same leak in my ‘01 Supercrew and had tried almost every solution. Had no idea I could replace the seals this easily.

Thank you sir for this fantastic instructional video on how to do this repair. Now I can tackle this issue on my 2000 f150.

Good video showing how using the correct tools helps to pull the panels off without breaking the plastic tabs. Also, @ 9:30 good reflection of the right way to record, with your phone on a small tripos in the corner of the bed. Thanks for the video.

Great video. Super clear and to the point. Very helpful. Thank you!

When I look for videos to wrench on my f150. Now I know where to go. Your channel. Very in formative. Great presentation. A solid 10.👍

This is a fantastic video! You explain everything very clearly and thoroughly. Very easy to follow.

This is an EXCELLENT video! I followed it to the T for fixing my 2001 F150 4x4. Thank you for your help I honestly could not have done it with out breaking something if not for your assistance. Love KZfaq!

Out standing video sir ! Just have to wait for the rain to stop and shop vac the water out of my 03. Thanks !!!

Great video, very helpful! The seat belt nuts on my '03 are 15mm. I have a Supercrew and the inside plastic is a little different but it's similar, 9mm worked better for me than 11/32 on the window nuts, 11/32 was too tight of a fit. Also had rust holes around some of the screw holes I had to repair before re-installing the window/ring.

BEST VIDEO I EVER SAW. THANKS A MIL. VERY CLEAR AND HELPFUL.

Out of the 3 I watched, yours is the best.

You explained it the best and showed everything you need thanks man .

Well done- clear, comprehensive and good narration. Thanks.

Sir, this is a great video, the best I’ve seen so far, straight to the point in how to install

Looks fun. I’m painting the roof and should take off that beauty ring.

Much gratitude my man. Appreciate you making such a great "how to"

The part about the retaining clips on the inside holding the beauty ring on is the info i needed, thank you.

This video was a godsend. Thank you Sir. I followed your steps to letter and it paid off. Window and beauty ring is back in. No leaks!!! Thanks again

Great best youtube video I've seen very good description & camera work -many thanks - Mick

Awesome explanation and I thank you for making the video!

I appreciate this mans patience.

Thanks for the video, definitely the best I found. Also, that foam-core butyl tape is getting pretty hard to find. I found some on amazon but it was a third party seller that took almost 2 weeks to arrive - don't expect to find any with prime shipping. Couldn't find any listed in the product pages of any of the major auto parts stores.

Watched several videos on this and this one was the best. Going to use 3M Window Weld instead of the tape. Hopefully it's the right move! Also on an '01 Supercrew.

Watched a couple videos on this topic, those sliding glass windows were natorious for developing cracks in the frame and they leaked no matter how good a butyl seal you have. They do have aftermarket windows that cured the issue, as Ford screwed up in the original design... nothing unusual there, they more likely wanted it to leak. Just figured I'd mention that since you didn't.

nice to follow and a clean job

Awesome video for my application. Thank you!

Thank you for the video sir .

Thanks for the video!!

Thanks! My '03's leaking too guess this is a problem with these year models. I considered taking the slider out & having a solid rear window installed as the slider works intermittently, but I think it may be the control switch. I'll try this before spending for a new window & can check out the slider while I have it apart. :)

i had to do mine as well but i ended up using 7/64 vacuum tubing with some weatherstrip adhesive for the seal around the beauty ring. My trim is a little different and has a channel in it like the rear window does, i just didnt want dirt and debris to stick to it because of how tacky that stuff is.

Nice, thank you now now I will fix mine!!

You’re the best thank you so much

My 2001 XLT was a little different. The biggest difference is that there are more of those frustrating expanding clips that have to get pinched with needle-nose pliers. I found that pinching them with the pliers and then pressing on the end with a flat screw driver helped to get them through the holes.

Fantastic video. My beauty ring has a crack in it .

What size are the seat belt harness nuts please? I have a 2002 F150 supercrew. Dont have tools so I'm inventorying what I need now.

All hail the King! :-) Your video is the best and I should also call you the professor! :-) quick question if I pay someone to do this for me how much can I expect to pay? If you're near Virginia maybe I can get you to do it? :-) thanks for an awesome video!

It just rained here and my 02 SuperCrew is soaked.... the rear carpet is soaked and I can see that it leaked in from the rear windshield. My question to you is, my front windshield had tons of condensation but everything up front was dry as far as the carpet area. Could the rear windshield leak have caused that much condensation that it reached the front windshield? Or do I have a leak at the windshield too? Thank you.

Thank you!

I have a leaking window on a 98. I resealed the window and still have a leak. Thanks to your video, I now see that the beauty ring is probably what’s leaking. Unfortunately, I used some super sticky 3M sealer on the window and it is going to be a bear to remove the back window this time.

the window guy who fixed my rear 3rd brake light leak, said the beauty ring is just appearance molding - nothing to do with weather stripping or preventing leaks. On the inside of the brake light he applied a 1/2" frame of weather foam and put a bead of rtv (or was it silicone?) on the inside of brake light. So far - no leaks...only thing...to change a light bulb - I'm going to have to scrape that silicone crap off.

Great video! Now to fix the wife's leaky rear window...

11/32 or 9mm works for the nuts that hold the rear window in. Technically they are metric 9mm

So did you apply the 3m tape all the way around the beauty ring not sure if you leave the bottom corners alone or not thank you

Hey I have a 2000 f150 xlt and mine is doing the same thing but I can't find any weatherstrip for it online any suggestions?

What if I’ve got a bench seat in the back? I have to remove the rear seat to get to the panel right?

Thanks

thanks

Anyone know where I should go to get this work done? I’m in winter haven, fl. Thanks

I got mine fixed today but the guy didn’t take off the beauty ring he said that wasn’t necessary so I hope it works fine

Am I able to remove the Beauty ring without removing the back glass?

Where to get M-seal?

Promise me you just got to take the back window out completely and clean it and put a new seal in there and it will work

Why didn't you use the Butyl on the beauty ring??

hm, mating surface; alll riight!

It's not the beauty ring it's all the urethane stripping I had the same problem

can someone help me I installed a led brake light but after I installed it it still leaks then after isilliconed it it still leaks help pls

Could I just calk it? With 100% silicone?

did this but now have 2 nuts that I have left over and its a mystery to me where they go???

i am just about to replace my beauty ring and i kept thinking, how does it come out without removing the glass. after this video i said ".... oh" better roll up those sleeves and unwrap a roll of butyl tape

Same for 2006 ?

Why use the butyl around the beauty ring.Just replace the rubber gasket that is around the perimeter of it.

I called an auto glass place today about having this done. They won't do the work unless you buy new glass. $560 to fix the seal. Yeah... not today.

You didn't show rear seat removal!

Once again you tube makes everything look easy. Mine.leaks more than it did

Ford. Window leaks, back doors won't open, half the lights on the dash quit. I've had enough. Bye bye.
