GEN 2 Windshield or Seam

[ggsando]

Had my windshield replaced by Ford’s contract windshield repair company a few days ago because the windshield was delaminating and I had an interior leak. The leak penetrated the interior passenger A-pillar area, down the kick panel, and collected under the door sill. Unfortunately is started to leak again. Windshield company is coming back out again and the Ford advisor said it could be a seam issue. I’ve attached some photos. Any others out there with this problem?

Following as I am having the exact same issue, but on the driver's side. Only shows up in when parked in heavy rain.

I never saw it on a Ford, but I've seen several Rams that did not have the seams sealed properly where the panels meet. The ones I saw ended up in a buy back. A good friend had an auto glass business since we were kids, it was his dad's. I've yet to see a defective new windshield in his place. Even if it delaminated, it still shouldn't leak because the seal is along the flat of the bottom layer of glass, not on the edge. You should be able to peel off that whole top layer of glass and it still shouldn't leak.

I called my buddy and he said he would pretty much guarantee it's not a windshield leak. He's been doing glass work for almost 60 years.

Glass company came back out this am. Window seal is good. Dealership is sending it to their body shop for the seam and giving me a Prius as a loaner hoping they get it fixed correctly.

Got the truck back this past Friday. Body shop repaired both pax and driver side seams at the A-pillar roof line. Glass reinstalled. No leaks so far after substantial rains this weekend. Fingers crossed it holds.
