“The windshield on my 1999 f250 superduty leaks when it is raining. The problem has existed to a minor extent for several years, however, until recently the problem was not bad enough that I felt it needed repair. I first noticed the problem shortly after the warranty on the truck expired. Last week during a rain storm it was obvious that something needed to be done. I took the truck to a local glass repair shop, binswanger, in fort worth. The repair technician told me that this was a common problem with Ford f250's that he has seen many times and that it was more than just a leak. …”
