In this video I am showing you how I removed, disassembled, cleaned, sealed up, and re-installed my GEM/body control module on my 2003 F-150. This applies to all 10th generation F-150s, which range from 1997-2003.
Just like I said in the video, to fully fix the issue you’d want to also re-seal your whole windshield.
I hope it was helpful!
