FYI, the sealant needs to be replaced. So you scrape that away and Apply 3M Single Step Primer, then apply 3M Window-Weld. The two sided tape is just used to hold in place while the window-weld sets. If you don't have a means to apply pressure to the window for an hour or so for the window-weld to set, try rolling and stuffing a towel between window and back seat head rest.

The tape holds the glass in place until the sealant can dry. The sealant is window sealant used to glue windshields into place. In this case it's used to glue the track to the glass.

This is a GREAT instructional video. I have a 2015 with 50K miles and seems like a lot of owners have the same problem. A $50k+ lariat which has been a great truck and this is ridiculous that Ford requires the replacement of the complete unit. It will be a while before I'm in the market again for a new truck but this definitely will make me think twice of a third F150. Thank you for posting this.

Thanks for a great video. I have the exact problem. Can’t believe engineers got away with this design on a 65k truck. I did my repair twice trying with just the double sided tape. First batch of tape did not work. Well the second fix with the tape was better, but still an issue. The flex shot is a definite necessity to make this repair a success. Heading back out there right now to add the flex shot. Thanks again for the video. Saved me about $1,375.00 dollars.

For those coming to this video to fix their issue: Sealant is used to hold the track in place "permanently" (mine dropped earlier this year [2016 F-150] so clearly it is not permanent). Double-sided tape is used to hold the track in place until the sealant sets up. I have seen several comments railing on Ford for using "four pieces of tape to hold the window in place." This is simply NOT true. I ABSOLUTELY think the sealant is a very poor design but its just silly to think that anyone would use just four pieces of tape, especially with the sealant (clearly visible) attached to the truck and its residue on the track. The stuff is there for a reason so yeah, it might be important... Find out what it is, why its there and do your best to repair it as well, or better, than the original.

Should be a F150 recall full stop. My rear power window upper track fell forward (2") while working in North Carolina and I had to drive 1,650 miles back to Colorado through intermittent rain.

Four pieces of double-sided tape, positioned across the unit on the raised rectangle areas is plenty. You have to apply the sealant if you want the repair to last any length of time. There is a reason why both are there: The sealant holds the track "permanently" and the tape holds the track in place while the sealant is setting up.
