I got my car back from the dealer and of course they couldn't find the leak. They removed all trim, carpets, seat, rocker... They found a bit of water but no entry point. They jacked up the front, then the rear while keeping the shower on it 24 hours in many positions... The technician resealed all places that he thought maybe water could have come in but it's still a guessing game. I report back in a few days.

A garden hose trickle may not be applying enough pressure.

Was the car just sitting out in the rain when water entered or did you drive at highway speeds? I think that they should have used a pressure sprayer on the front and rear windshield seams. And a garden hose nozzle when testing the side window seals. I am taking my new convertible over to a no-touch car wash when I pick it up for the check-out drive. No-touch sprayers have pretty good pressure to check for leaks (but not as good as a real pressure sprayer).

being a former paint and body guy, I can attest to the fact that finding water leaks in one of the hardest things to fix on a car. The other is a strange wind noise.

It might take time, be patient.

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...

I had the exact same problem in another car and the culprit was a bad seal around the tail lights. I would have a look in the trunk to see if it is wet.

At the 0:52 point he just kills it by spraying the entire front dash and steering wheel. God knows how many electrical gremlins and issues will crop up due to left over moisture.

I think this guy just works at the wash, and the customer is a repeat customer but gives a lousy or no tip, so this is his way of getting back with a interior wash. haha

How long have you had your Mustang? Are you satisfied with your decision to go with the 2.3T? How many kilometers do you have on it? Is all of your snow gone now?

I know this is old, but my service rep told me to keep the leaves out of my vent at the bottom of the windshield. It is causing them to leak bad. May or may not have been the problem.

I agree. Someone will read this and say "Yes! This is it!" then be bummed at the end of the thread. Happened to me more than once.
