New to your forum from the Mustang Source site, referred here due to my water leak passenger side..yadda yadda yaddaexactly like everyone else's leak....hmmm sounds like a pattern
My car is a '07 GT vert build in late July or early August '06(delivered to Vancouver Canada on Aug 26th) We get tons of rain and this is my dailydriver, so she cannot be a garage queen.
I thank all of you for the heads upon this problem...going to the dealer for #1 attempt to fix tomorrow am.

I have a 2007 GT deluxe with the same soaked passenger floor padding so many of you describe. (5-speed, built 11/06). It sounds less severe than the 05 and 06's, but it is still there. My dealership is promptly attempting to fix it. My question is slightly different. If the dealership (pre-TSB) can't fix it right the first time, (it's possible!), what do you recommend in the meantime to keep mildew from occuring. Would you remove the padding, and/or carpet altogether, keep it pulled back, spray lysol, what?. No mildew smell yet as my car has less than 500 miles on it. Also, are you guys using clear silicone caulk, or something more specialized? Thanks in advance, this thread is amazingly helpful. Thanks, sleeper2
I'd like to enter my car in the "leak poll" hyproman, but I can't get it to work, is there a click-on somewhere that I'm missing? Thanks, Sleeper2
Are you just getting the results? If so, any possibility someone else from that computer may have taken the poll. You can filter the messages in the top right corner of the message list just to see polls. Are you having this problem with other polls on the board?
Thanks

Yeah, buckshot, all I'm getting is the results of this poll, I'm not sure why. Thanks for trying. Anyway, my dealership (which actually seems pretty attentive) turned my car over to "the water guy" who tested it for "two and a half hours" and came up negative. I've got free carpet padding coming my way because I voiced my displeasure that they didn't dry the padding before putting the carpet back down. After driving the car home I promptly ripped all the front padding out from both sides (at least it's not newly wet) and put towels under the carpet. Although not the normal experience I expected with a new car, at least this way I can keep an eye on things (geez I'm getting fast at taking my car apart) and actually drive the car while I'm waiting for the new padding and the leak TSB. This is definitely MUCH more of a "retro" experience than I ever expected!

How much carpeting did you rip up?? Just the passenger foot area??Take any lastic moulding off??
I don't trust theguys at the dealership loooking after my car...I had the carpet half taken up to dry things out...they water tested and soaked the rest of the carpet all the way back to the rear footwells. Still haven't found the leaks source. Service guy already said they wouldn't replace the insulation and I have no car until Monday next week...and no loaner. I am loving Ford service right now[:@]
