3rd brake light leak on 06?
Good morning,
I went out to my truck to clean it this morning and I noticed the back seat top and bottom are wet. Then I look at the headliner and when I ran my finger down it water poured out. I am thinking either the rear window is leaking or it's the 3rd brake light issue, but when I did a search all the people with this problem were driving 04-05's. Is this still a problem with the 06's? I am already out of warranty so I am planning on pulling it apart and running some silicone down the light today. I just hope it isn't the rear glass. Any ideas?

My truck had the same problem last year.Ford knows about this and the fix is a new gasket.My dealership uses an outside glass company to do this work.The glass tech said the OEM gasket shrinks and allows water in past the gasket.Mine has yet to leak since the new and improved gasket was installed.

When your truck is still under warranty Ford will "find" a way to fix any problems.I watched the glass tech work on my truck.I even saw the new gasket he used;it was in a Ford marked package.

It's pouring this morning in Dallas and I just noticed I still have the dreaded "3rd BRAKE LIGHT LEAK SYNDROME"...
If I don't work this weekend looks like I will replace coil boots/springs (another thread), drop driveshaft (still, another thread) and replace 3rd light gasket (again).
Anyone know the part number to said "gasket"???

I just talked to my dealer and they said to fix the problem I need to buy the whole assembly. Light housing, gasket and drip pan (???). Over the phone they said it will fix it. But for how long??
"Wonder if there a TSB on this?"
Just found the TSB 04-20-5 Buy the "new" lamp assembly...
