WHY? Dealer didn't do anything. You need their help- going in with attitude won't get you a damn thing.

Prepare for mould!!!!

I hope i am not going to be in the same boat. I purchased my car and noticed a little wet spot behind the driver seat but thought it could have been water getting in as it was storming pretty bad when i got the car now this has me worried.

More people need to understand this. The dealership is NOT the same company as ford. They can't control anything that happened at the factory or what ford says or does about problems.

Hopefully not since boats are supposed to keep water out.....

Sorry. Couldn't help myself

Just me, but after the fiasco I had to go through trying to get my water leak fixed I will do it myself if it happens again. I fixed mine in my focus when the dealer couldn't do it after 5 tries. Hardest part is pulling the carpet. Then the leak is easy to find. Need to let the dealer try 1st though.

I just got mine back from the dealership this past Monday for leaks. Mine was coming down the sides of the dashboard & down on the kick panels & soaking both the driver & passenger carpets. Mine was in the dealership & the body shop for a total of two weeks. Turns out there was a pin hole in one or two welds at the top of the windshield, causing water to run down but only when the car was stationary. If it was moving, it would go up & over the back. Get it in & get it fixed before it causes rust, plus the possibility of mold in the carpets...not good.

Are you sure you didn't do this? LOL

As mentioned, bring up the subject of mold and mildew. Wet carpet and padding will lead to bad odors if not attended to quickly and properly. Not only does the leak need fixing, but that carpet should be pulled out and hung up to dry.

That's true. You attract more flies with honey.

Absolutely! That or take it to a detail shop, tell them you just want those particular areas hit with a carpet extractor. They should only charge $20-$30. Might be easier than pulling the carpets.

I have a Mustang 2015 V6 coupe and it has a major leak. Wednesday I noticed I had nearly an inch of water on the floor behind the driver's seat. I used a shop vac to pick it up. After a day of rain on thursday I checked today and it's full of water again. I'm sure it's not coming from under the car but where is it coming from? The rear quarter windows? The joint of roof and back glass? It breaks my heart to bring it to Ford and have them tear it apart to find the leak...

Hey DJGold,

I saw you were planning to bring your Mustang in to the dealer today. Were you able to get it in? Send me a PM; I'll look into options on my end to further assist.

Oh no! Say it ain't so! The S197 had a horrible water leak problem which took Ford a few model years to figure out! I hope this is not happening again!! I need to check mine.

They took it in today and lent me a car. I just feel like the service rep. didn't take me seriously when I told him another member on this forum had a similar issue therefore I could give them a heads up on where to start looking. I know they'll fix it, I just don't want them keeping the car for 2 weeks +. I'll keep you all posted.

Glad it's getting taken care of, DJGold. Let me know if you do need anything. If you have further issues with service, I'll be here. :cheers:

Water leaks...

I am expecting delivery of my convertible in the next few days. My dealer has agreed not to wash the vehicle (I want to Iron X, clay bar, seal, wax it myself). I will be taking it out for an inspection drive also. I am taking my salesman with while I take it through a No-Touch car wash. I want to see if there are any water leaks, especially when the high pressure jets hit the window-soft top seals.
