| Condition | Customer may comment on finding water in the rear interior of the cab. |
| Cause | 5203798
5201854 5201855 Note: The cracks can be in the left and/or right side of the rear sliding window plastic upper rail glass guide which is covered by the roof rear spoiler. Examples of a left (1), then right side (2) visual crack (with the spoiler removed) are shown in the graphics above. The cause of the condition may be cracking in the rear sliding window plastic upper rail glass guide. The plastic upper rail glass guide may develop small fractures/cracking which allows water to pass through on the glass side of the urethane that attaches to the vehicle body. |
| Correction | Important: When verifying this condition, ensure that the water leak path is due to cracks in the rear sliding window plastic upper rail glass guide, and NOTa leak in the primary urethane seal, between the window and the body; or from the spoiler attachments to the truck cab which are in the same area. Please indicate power sliding rear window crack in warranty claim verbiage.
A leak in the primary urethane seal should be addressed by removing and resealing the window, using the standard service procedure from SI. R & R the roof rear spoiler and apply seam sealer to the rear sliding window top encapsulate, following the steps in the Service Procedure below. |
Service Procedure
5201856
- Lower the rear portion of the headliner (1) and remove the roof rear spoiler (2). Refer to Roof Rear Spoiler Replacement, in SI.
5201857
- Clean and inspect the full length of the cavity above the body to window urethane:
5201858
2.1. First using shop cloths and glass cleaner, or suitable equivalent, clean all grime, debris and water from the cavity.
5201859
2.2. Then, using compressed air, blow away any excess moisture and allow the area to dry thoroughly.
5201860
Important: Cut the applicator tip to a larger opening and use care to avoid getting the sealer on the upper/ visible surfaces of the glass.
- Apply a generous bead of Kent® High-Tech Seam Sealer Clear P10200, or equivalent, across the complete length of the urethane/encapsulate. Allow the sealer to flow to a uniform thickness across the complete top of the window.
5201861
Note: The graphic above is a top view of the sliding window, while standing in the bed of the truck.
- Allow a short time for the sealer to develop a skim coat, then reinstall the spoiler and headliner. Refer to Roof Rear Spoiler Replacement, in SI.
- Allow at least 24 hours before running the truck through any car wash.
