Hi Scotty, I have a 2010 Ford F-150. I love my truck, I do have an issue. I have over the window cargo/high mount third break light. It has a really thin gasket allowing water to enter causing my roof liner to stain and water goes into the lower rear portion of my cab where the cab ends and bed begins.. is there thicker Gaskets? How could I order one? Would I need new high mount light?
I would recommend making a gasket for it out of a quality gasket material. It's pretty easy to make gaskets by simply tracing the object onto the gasket material OR using a liquid gasket maker. It wouldn't hurt to get something that is very weather resistant for this particular application.

Would you know of any decent products? I tried Air conditioner Weather Stripping it would work for awhile then I would notice leak on my headliner while in car wash and find weather stripping missing. I even super glued it last time lmao. I have no clue tried to even by a light but no gasket was with that.
Almost any product by RTV would be good but obviously you dont NEED high temp RTV (though it could technically work). There is a company that makes a liquid "weather stripping" but I haven't seen it around for a while and it could very well also be RTV who makes that. Just check around - you want something with silicon in it similar to caulk but with better adhesion.

Thanks I will update if I find something that will work. I have rust forming and need to repair that. Lol ironically I can fix rust wholes but not the blasted leak that caused it though 3 attempts were made. Lol
Don't think there's a thicker one. I'd get some silicone rtv, remove the light and run a bead to seal it, carefully reinstall light and let cure. It'll last longer than any polymer gasket.

Thanks I will look into that. I will update if I find something that works.
