Left the car in the parking lot at work today, in the rain. Came back and the passenger side carpet was drenched. There was a trickle of water coming in from just above where the passenger would put their feet. As well as that, there was another leak in the driver's side - not as bad, but the carpet was still wet. Few weeks ago after driving in the rain I had some puddles in the floorspace of the back seats. That was put down to some sort of plug underneath the car when I got it serviced.
Anyway, can't get to a Ford dealership for a couple of days, so wondered if anyone else has had problems like this and might know what it could be. 3 individual leaks in a month seems a lot to me.

You could always just move to sunny brisbane! no real rain here for a long while. But when it does rain, there is usually hail, so there is good reason to get your car under cover!

Seriously though, I have heard of these problems and most of the time it occurs after ford has changed the pollen filter and not sealed it properly, but I guess if there is a ford fix out there for it, it may not be associated with changing the filter and can happen any time.

Ah, sounds like that could be it.
Always good to go in there with a rough idea of the problem. :)

Yeah I remember someone having problems with it before.

Good find, Chris! Saved me looking it up.

Tim!
