Leaky hardtop. Anyone seen similar?

[MrBullz]

Just noticed this today. Looks like it’s coming in from the window. Anyone else have this issue? 5k miles. Have an appointment for Jan 9th.

Probably the window is not properly sealed. Should be an easy fix. If you don’t want to wait, I recommend taking it to a local glass shop so they can try resealing it. The dealership will likely end up taking it to a glass shop anyway it just depends if you’re okay waiting few more weeks for your appointment and if you’re okay paying out of pocket to get it fixed sooner

There was a recall for some late 2023 models but reports of leaky roofs like yours continue to come in.

I experienced this on my first 23 and was in line to get a new roof from Ford, but some idiot crossed the center line and totaled my Bronco. I got a left over new 23 Bronco that I learned got the glass window seals repaired before the sale, and so far, no leaks.

Good luck, Bull. I'm sure your dealer has seen this caper before and will get you back on track.

Thanks. I don’t mind it’s just a little less than 2 weeks. Having a couple other things looked at while it’s there. I just found it odd that it just happened. Been in heavier rain than todays.

Gotcha yeah unfortunately those little annoying issues like leaks, rattles, creaks, etc.. are standard with every Bronco. It could be the seal separated recently due to weather change, etc.. but overall it doesn't look as bad as other members that reported water dropping from the pillars. Either way, good luck! should be an easy fix

Looks like a new top is happening. This is where it’s leaking so I guess it’s going in that tiny crack.

I had the same leak where my window wasn't sealed properly from the factory. My local dealership fixed it and took the window out and resealed it. About 8 months later down the road I noticed the little stress cracks around the window and they warrantied the back section of my hardtop. Mine is a two-door by the way.

Dealer fixed a passenger side leak a few months ago after a third try. Now I have a leak on the driver side toward the front of the rear window. Going into dealer in a week.
