Vic... I was going to wait for the TSB to release, but my dealership was so close and so determined to seal any and all possible leaks, that I just let them keep trying. The 4th visit "fix" was very similar to some of the proposed TSB approach. But if you haven't started the process of dealership visits on the issue, then by all means stand by until the official TSB releases.
I've had a 2nd "mother nature test" this past weekend. Strong rain, driving in it and parking, etc. for 2-3 hours. Definitely would've caused the leak, but bone DRY! Still want a 3rd, solid test, but it really might be sealed!

My '06 is leaking in the passenger side as well. They said they found the leak and fixed it. A few weeks later it was worse so they 'fixed' it and replaced the carpeting. It's leaking again and they say that they have to fix it 3 times and then have it leak again for the 4th time before an engineer from Ford will come look at it and then they will 'talk' about replacing the car. They said the second leak was in the firewall behind the engine and the passenger side door. I think I'm getting raked thru the coals. I'm going to Ford tonight to talk to the General Manager. Beware a woman hell bent and posessed.

Best of luck mustanglissy! Mine took 4 visits to fix. I'm reasonably sure that mine had multiple entry points. I have had 2-3 pretty good "mother nature" test to assure me that it is now finally fixed..... but I am still skeptical until I go through a near torrential rain as a final test.
At any rate, yours (as well as many others) may very well be a case of multiple entry points. If they keep nailing them shut, eventualy they should have them all. Sloppy I know.
What I wonder is.... if there are more than one entry points involved, why does it seem that only one entry point at a time gets discovered and fixed? Why aren't they all seen during the leak testing?

Just returned from a 20-mile round trip in the pouring rain and no leaks that I can tell.

Just picked up my 06 up from the dealer today after the 3rd attempt to fix the water leak on the passenger side. Got it home, 12 miles from dealer, and smoke was pouring out of the engine. Tow truck driver said it looks like the heater coil let go and maybe that is why water is pouring in. To tell you the truth , I know nothing about cars but I know that I've had it up to my antenna with the radio eating my cd and having to get it replaced, three times at the dealer for a huge leak , and now a smoking engine.

Just a quick update (I don't dare post on the "SERIOUS..." thread, as I am sure people LOVE browsing through 15 pages) on my leak situation:
Last Friday the carpet got replaced, however, no one at the dealership bothered to replace or dry out the foam/pad piece coming from the cowl while there were in there, so when I got the car back it had nice new carpet, resting on a damp piece of padding. Anyway, after much discussion with the service manager and tech, I finally took it home, as I was assured it would dry out on it's own. Well, Thursday night it rained (not even hard, but a little bit), and guess who's new carpet is wet(ter)? Once agian, I can still see droplets of water coming down the frame, about a foot and a half up from the fuse box. 
That makes 6 times at the dealer (they were also supposed to re-test this time....right) Called a lawyer on Friday...I'm out of Lemon Law territory on mileage (got 20k on it now), but I've still got the Magnuson-Moss Act on my side. Lawyer seems confident...we'll see.
What a PITA.

hey....
i just found a slightly damp carpet, and musty smelling area down in the panel on the passenger side. I saw that foam that was put over the computer bow...is that fords "fix"?
I do drive in heavy rains, and do not know what the extent of the leaks are just yet.
I have an '07 gt
