I wish I could say this was an isolated story, but my experience with AutoNation Ford Katy has been just as bad.
My 2025 Bronco Raptor developed a serious roof leak. They kept it for approximately six weeks, replaced the header seal, and returned it to me as fixed. The very first time it...
I wanted to share a positive customer service experience.
A few months after installing my SUPAREE 5ā A-pillar pod lights, I noticed some surface rust forming on the mounting brackets. I emailed them with a few photos asking if there was a warranty solution.
I never received a response, but...
Thanks, I have. Iāve opened a case with Ford and documented everything. Iām hoping this final repair attempt fixes it, but if not, Iāll be moving forward with my other options.
That looks great. Quick questionādid you find a hood deflector thatās actually made for the Raptor, or did you have to modify one from a standard Bronco to get it to fit? Iāve been looking for one and havenāt found many Raptor-specific options.
Just curious, why are you avoiding the DV8 bar? I have one on my Raptor, and from your picture our Broncos look very similar. I think it sits nice and low, follows the factory lines well, and doesnāt look overly bulky.
The install was surprisingly straightforward too. Since the Raptor is...
Thanks again for the detailed explanation. You seem to have firsthand experience with these roofs, so I have one technical question if you donāt mind.
In my main video, itās hard to tell from the camera angle, but I was watching it closely during the test. Within about 10ā15 seconds of turning...
Thanks again for taking the time to explain all of that. I really appreciate it. This thread has honestly given me more useful technical information than Iāve gotten anywhere else.
Thatās definitely another possibility I hadnāt considered. The symptoms do seem like they could match a...
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write all of that out. This is probably the best reply Iāve had so far, and that diagram is excellent. It really helps me understand how the drainage system is supposed to work.
I went back and read through all of my Ford repair invoices after seeing your...
I completely agree with the idea of finding the exact entry pointāthatās exactly what Iāve been trying to do. Iāve spent a lot of time running controlled water tests, filming from multiple angles, and documenting exactly where the water shows up.
The funny part is the dealership has shown zero...
I actually have put quite a bit of elbow grease into this over the first 10,000 miles. Iāve documented the issue with videos, worked with the dealership through multiple visits, left the vehicle there for six weeks, and gave them every opportunity to repair it under warranty. The frustrating...
Thanks for the feedback. Just to clarify, I havenāt removed the roof panels a single time since I got the Bronco back from the dealership after they had it for six weeks replacing the front header seal. Thatās actually the whole reason Iāve been documenting this. The very first rain after the...
Looking for feedback from other Bronco owners.
My 2025 Bronco Raptor developed a roof leak around 3,000 miles. Ford eventually replaced the front header seal after I documented the leak on video. Unfortunately, it started leaking again immediately after the repair.
I captured the rain and...
Thanks for sharing your experience. Thatās encouraging to hear that replacing the seals permanently fixed yours. Unfortunately, my situation has been different. The dealership already replaced my front header seal after keeping the Bronco for approximately six weeks, but it started leaking again...
I completely agree. Thatās what has made this so frustrating. I expected a repair after the first documented issue, but after multiple visits, a six-week stay at the dealership, and a front header seal replacement, itās still leaking into the cabin. Iām hopeful the Ford roof specialist can...
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Thatās actually really helpful to hear because itās exactly the kind of comparison I was looking for. Mine is doing the opposite of what youāve described. It has leaked during natural rainstorms and during controlled hose testing, and after...
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I agreeāthatās why Iām hoping the Ford roof specialist takes a broader look at the entire roof system instead of just the header seal this time. The seal replacement clearly wasnāt the root cause since it started leaking again immediately after I got it back...
Forget the leak, apparently Iāve got Bigfoot living in the Bronco. š
Watch the full video and see if you can spot him before the water starts dripping:

My 2025 Bronco Raptor first developed a roof leak around 3,000 miles. After multiple visits and video evidence, Ford eventually replaced the front header seal and kept the vehicle for approximately six weeks.

now yāall are just making me jealous you know I canāt touch my top without fear of water coming in! And the worst part about all this is itās summertime and I want the top off!
