First issue with new Bronco rear window

[huntingjman73]

Had new Wildtrak about 2 months. Ran thru car wash this morning and water came pouring in rear glass. Anyhow the weather strip/seal on rear glass had slipped down. I can add glue….just curious if others have had issue. I know I didn’t load anything that would have hit that(I don’t think?). Maybe it was golf clubs yesterday but 99% sure that I didn’t hit it.

I had this happen. Took it to my dealer, they ordered a new seal and installed it. Works just fine ever since. I asked if I could just glue it into place and they said that wouldn’t amount to a long term fix. Replacing the entire seal is apparently the proper fix.

Yes, see the image below. The fat streaks in the wiper area were where water was straight up streaming into the back. I also had a leaking seal along the front top of the windshield (where the top rests I believe) that left flecks of water down the inside of the passenger window, might check for that too. Mine happened in the first two months of ownership.

Took it in, dealer service ordered new seals, a few weeks later it got fixed under warranty. The glue smells but if you have it garaged, just leave the windows down, it goes away in a few days.

If they ask you to bring it in and leave it for weeks, probably outside, just know you can ask that they only have it long enough to fix it (they had mine for I think 3-4 days when they wanted it for 3-4 weeks...).
