Same problem, squirted silicon in the window track, works ok now
Sponsored
I took mine in for this issue, and they had to somehow adjust the rear window. They said it was a small amount too high and was contacting the top, works great now and no leaks. I did not see how they fixed it though, was not in the shop.righto....greetings from sunny Sydney. Can i request, all those who have posted here with problems around the rear windows not closing fully at any time (might be fixed now with silicone), to please have a look at the alignment of the roof where it meets the windscreen bar and let me know whether it is even or misaligned?
I have a feeling that misalignment of the roof mechanism is what causes this issue. My earlier post at https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68872 has some snaps of what I am talking about.
I picked up a 2016 GT convertible used last November. I looked into it's history and discovered it's one warranty visit was some kind of adjustment to one or both of the rear windows. I don't know exactly what the complaint was and I've had no problems with it myself. What prompted me to comment here was what others have said about using silicone to clean and lube the weatherstrips. This is my third convertible and have serviced the weatherstrips on all of them with silicone spray. It not only helps smooth window operation but helps to preserve the weatherstrips themselves which is obviously important for a drop top but also important for cars like the fastbacks where the door windows have to seal in the weatherstrips because they don't have door frames around them. I just apply the silicone to a rag and give the weatherstrips a good rubbing down. So far, the windows work well and I've not had any water leaks.
