Why doesn't the administrator make this thread a "sticky" so that it stays on top?
I do not have any leaks with my 07 GT vert - but it certainly seems like a solvable problem or a design issue for that matter. [My vehicle is a garage queen / good weather driver only.]
Someone needs to get an exact answer as to why these vehicles allow water inside the passenger cabinet and post it here for everyone else's benefit. I suspect many others have this problem and do not know about it. It may even result in a TSB.
Hey, found this thread from another site. My car is an early 05 GT coupe. I had notice last spring a musty smell and the windows would fog a lot after a big rain, I never really looked into it until this week after a big rain. Checked the floor board and it was soaked.
One note my driveway is on a hill and I normally park it up hill (rained all thursday night) and noticed the floor being wet on the pass side friday afternoon.
I plugged the hole on the firewall that hammeron posted a pict of and will cauk around the wire gromet in the wheel well later today and see if it does it again.
Update, we had some bad storms today and first heavy rain since I plugged the above with body sealer. I had to drive through some deep puddles and a few roads with around a couple of inches running across them today. While the floor board was wet it is a ton better than before. Going to check the cabin filter area tomorrow. when I replaced the filter a few weeks ago the cover that goes over the firewall did not sit right, the rubber seal is not flush with the windshield.
a couple days ago i went through some heavy rain for the first time and luckily i did not feel any wetness on the passenger side. Hopefully i just dont have the problem but i will be cghecking every time

I called my dealership to make an appointment with the same person I dealt with on a couple of other issues. I mentioned the leak. It's been 2 weeks and no call back. I am now too busy to do anything about it until just after the new year. I will post back here with what happens in my case with the dealership. I totally want this leak thing fixed. "Maybe" my dealership will figure it out or has already dealt with it as they are a very busy, high volume dealership in Houston.
I will be calling Ford about this, but after I have seen the dealership in order to better describe to Ford my whole experience.
Hi. New to the forums here but found this after searching because of a horrible smell in my '06 GT. After reading the posts checked the passenger floor and sure enough under the carpet was wet. Took it to the dealer and just got it back last week. It was raining on the trip home about an hours drive and rained for 2 days after. The car appears to have stayed dry. Not much on tech terms but here's what they found , leak found around body seam on ps front under wiper cowl. Resealed seam and put cowl and wipers back on. Not sure if this helps anyone out but its worth a look. Also had the dash rattle and TSB06-4-1 seems to have fixed that as well. Car is stored for the winter now but will report back if the problem reoccurs. Good luck all!

Sheri welcome to the forum. Did they tell you what was rattling specifically. And what is TSB06-4-1 ? I don't recall that number TSB.
Hi again. TSB06-4-1 is the exhaust hanger by transmission. They installed clamps to stop it from vibrating. I guess it would vibrate and transmit throught the console. Seems to have fixed it so far.

Thanks Sherie, I passed your info on to the thread dealing with the rattle problem. One person had a muffler shop do the same fix to his car.
Well I just checked my car this morning after the three day downpour here in NC and sure enough I found a nice puddle on the passenger side. I guess I'll have to call the dealership Monday and see what they say. I had a Jeep that leaked forever and I was really excited to have a new car that was nice and tigh with no smell. SO much for that idea.

Chalk up another '07 coupe with a big puddle on the passenger side floor. The car is about a month old with about 2700 miles. After reading this thread, I have occasionally checked for a leak. I have driven several times in downpours with no issue. However, for the last 2 days the car sat in torrential rain and then I washed it today. I don't know if sitting in the rain caused the puddle or if washing the car did. Whichever, there was puddle of water on the pasenger side floor and I could feel that it was wet right up to under the kickpanel.
I made an appointment at the dealership for Tues. Let's see what happens.
This looks like the closest we've come to nailing it down. Now if someone could take a picture of this exact location and the seam that was sealed, we'll be in business. - - -

had a light rain last night and the car was parked on a hill with the front facing downhill. Checked for water and it was dry, then drove 30 miles to work in a light rain on the interstate and when I got to work I checked the floor again and it was wet up under the kickpannel, guess those area's I put body sealer on did nothing.

wow, this is a little scary for a new car. I just ran out an checked my car, no wetness (had just washed the car today). I'll be watching closely though as its going to rain pretty good friday here in new jersey.
