This fixed my problem… Thanks !! Go Riders

3mm hex driver worked fine for me. Maybe you just a poor quality set?

Thanks so much, saved me lots of money 👍

Thank you.

2012 GMC Acadia here. Did this and it worked. How long it'll last? Who knows but at least for now i dont have to pounce on the display to see what it is displaying. I'll never buy a GMC anything ever again! Worst vehicle I've ever owned. Simple maintenance is a nightmare.

Thanks much for the info. I have the same issue with my 2013 Chevy Silverado and came here looking for advice, which it looks like I've found. I'll tackle this in a couple days when I have the time. UPDATE: worked for me too. Those little screws on the board were a pia though. I tried going to harbor freight and home depot so see if I could find the right tool/socket, but was unable to locate, so I ended up using needle nose pliers. I didn't put the screws back in, as I'm planning to swap them out with some Phillips screws for electronics.

thank you

Worked for me. Thanks Jim

Nice VId - gonna try it this weekend. Bought my first soldering tool today. Wish me luck!

Awesome

I’m confused. There’s a gap in the video between removing the C panel and repositioning the hose itself. I pulled my 14’ raptor panel and couldn’t find the hose. Also, if I did wondering how you locate the end in order to fish it thru. I have a grabber tool for automotive.

I popped my panel door jam and didn’t see the hose anywhere. How did you find it thru the bottom?

would the RVR use the same part?

can you please comment to me the block heater you bought for your vehicle.. thank you

Heck yeah thank you 🙏 i live in a rust state and this will definitely help

Awesome!

I have a 2014 Platinum with a sunroof and could not find the drain tubes under the truck or even after pulling both side trim panels in the cab. As another commenter mentioned, perhaps Ford fixed this in the later models.

My 2011 supercrew 4x4 without a sunroof has the cab corner rust issue. When I bought it used a year and a half ago, I went underneath it and found the holes in the rocker panels with the black tape. Some was already missing, most of what was left was very loosely attached. I peeled all of it off, cleaned off where it was, sprayed a bunch of fluid film in each hole, and re taped all of them with black gorilla tape duct tape. That stuff is tops for staying stuck. My cab corners are a lost cause, but gorilla tape comes in the perfect shade of white to match the paint. Some carefully applied white gorilla tape makes the rust invisible from a few feet away, and isn't really noticeable when looking at the truck. I looked into repairing it with patch panels, but it requires the bed to come off the truck to access the area for cutting and welding. It's 10 years old, and otherwise looks and runs great, it lives outside 24/7, so I plan on driving it just the way it is.

Sunroof? In a pickup truck? Embarrassing.

A sunroof in a truck should be illegal....thats the dumbest thing a truck could have

wonderful slide show. enjoyed it immensely.

Great slide show!

damn, i wish i would have found this 2 years ago. i hate ford. my corner is starting to rust. was it hard to get the trim piece off to do this?

You saved me some heartache. Seen another video on the flaw of the manufactures tape falling off the holes so I got all the stuff I needed and was about to do the job of patching all of the holes when right before I started i just happened to come across this video and if I hadn’t known about these drain hoses, it’d been all for nothing. Thanks a million.

Is there only 1 drain tube? I found it on the passenger side but not driver?

You should go around and pull off all the old tape over those holes in the rocker panels and retape them shut. There are 10 on each side. Horrible design, if you don't your rocker panels will rust out.

Does the 2013/2014 models have this issue. I can't find a hose in the cab corners

My 2008 had rust on both can corners, rusted through. Was the biggest pos truck I ever had. Rust was just one of the problems but I did not have sunroof and I see a lot of f150s with no sunroof but rusty can corners.

my truck has this issue. Why would ford put in drains that dont go outside the truck and concentrate water into the corners. serious design flaw.

My 09 f150 is bubbling up on the cab corners and inside the rear doors and it's super sad cause its a beautiful truck still besides that. I might look into seeing how much it would cost to do a proper repair on it but to be honest I'm a bit scared😕, I'm sure it will be alot😨. The new aluminum f150 look pretty appealing now.

Those rockers are rotting away quick! Look at all that rust on the lip. Not even related to the sunroof drain, it's the road salt that makes these trucks rust.

Good video -- which I found because our 2011 F150 supercrew (oxford white) has developed rust on cab corners on both sides, but not through and through, yet but bubbling up.. The truck does NOT have a sun/moon roof -- roof is solid. No idea if there are still drains tubes running down to the corners, or if so, from where they would be draining. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks good heads up.

Thank you! I didn't even know their was an end cap drain there! IDK why ford didn't ensure that there was a direct way for water to exit, but what ever.
