I called our local Ford dealer and the trim strips are $70 a piece, I removed the rivet, added Flex-Seal silicone underneath the trim and replaced the rivet. so far, so good. No leaks!

Great video. Fixed mine.

[@terrancewalton3518]

I just completed mines today and your video made it super easy. I did put two side tape on the bottom and top to help keep it in place and I invested in a 5.00 rivet gun from Harbor Freight.

Great video! So was the water coming in at the rivet, or the in around the window trim? Also, how did you install the rivet.....? I didn't see that in the video?

Great video. Did you have water leaking in the backseat prior to changing out the trim?

[@kevingervais7678]

Great job with the work and the video.! Have you experienced issues with rain leaking since redoing your roof trim? I'm thinking of doing mine (2013 F-150 SuperCab) using your process.

[@neverneatgarage]

The trim is cosmetic to hide the welds. So no issue with leaking.

[@Funexpected]

I recently noticed the passenger side trim on my 2004 F-150 pulls right off, but it's secure enough that it won't go anywhere. Mine isn't riveted, one end slides into the long roof trim and the other end slides into the window like yours. They're $15-20 apiece and not important enough for me to replace at this time.

[@Elvis241000]

Thank you for the video. May I ask where you purchased the parts?

[@neverneatgarage]

I’m glad it was helpful. I ordered part from www.genuineforddepot.com but I recommend check other websites for the best deal. I was hoping if you can Like the video and subscribe to my page. Thank you

[@usdeltaforce1]

Do you think you can use some kind of silicone sealant instead of using the tape to hold it in better?

[@neverneatgarage]

You can use silicone but I’ve used 3M double sided tape to install low profile rear spoilers on the trunks of many of my cars and years later the 3M still holds strong. Also since you are wedging the trim behind the window stripping it will stay in place just fine. What is really holding the trim is the rivet at the top, the tape is there just to reduce any chance of rattling so silicone would be fine but messy.

[@giloliva8978]

Did you ever clean up the window trim? Mine is super weathered and I’m thinking about painting it.

[@williamvargas9721]

Hey Gil, I was planning to but sold the truck. I was planning to lightly sand the surface and use filler where needed then through down a base coat and spray it semi-gloss black or flat black. I was hoping you could like the video and subscribe to my channel. Thank you, Wil

How did you install the new rivets?

[@williamvargas9721]

Used a standard rivet gun. I first carefully drilled out the old rivets, put the new trim in place, then place rivet in gun then in the whole ensuring the trim is between the rivet and the metal/whole. Keeping pressure on the rivet start squeezing the rivet gun handle a few times until you hear the pop of the rivet. Note it’s important you use the factory rivet since it has plastic in the rivet hole to prevent water getting in. If you used a standard rivet you then need to make sure you get the right size rivet and need to cover the rivet hole with silicone or something to prevent water getting in.

[@chandlerkramer3984]

Did you by chance have a leak where you replaced these?

[@neverneatgarage]

No. The trim is cosmetic covering two large welds.

[@goodolboy5228]

Mine's also sun rotted. Guess that trim is just there for looks.

[@neverneatgarage]

Yeah, it just cosmetic but it made the truck look old.

[@lukeforwoodson4705]

Did you replace these because of a leak? My truck is leaking in this area and I am wondering if this is where the water is coming from. My seals are also loose on one side where the leaking is.

[@SexyTexas]

What did you do

[@lukeforwoodson4705]

@@SexyTexas Turns out it was the back glass seal. Had the seal replaced and fixed it.

[@tonypitsacota2513]

I wish Ford would just make something simple and strong. The rear window assembly, sliding window, and the 3rd brake light design has been garbage since 1986.
