Water in rear quater panels -
#11
Thanks for the replys. Sorry but I got a little lost in the thread with discussion re: trunk -
Still wondering the best way to get a look inside the rear panels to see if there is really water in there?
Can I take off trim and panels at back seat to get a look?
Thanks -

You can easily gain access to the quarter panel troughs by by pulling out the plastic center pins at all of the locations where they secure the 2 plastic liners in place on both sides of the inside of the trunk, and then remove the liners.
Also, check the spare wheel well for water accumulation.

After leaking on the driver's side wheel well for 3 years, after 3 trips to the dealer who couldn't figure it out, and the car finally going out of warranty, I figured it out today.
The wheel well seam had a "pit" in the sealer. Finally.

fwiw : i had small pools of water in the inside of the quarters after every heavy rain. it was a fluke i found them because the carpet in the trunk hides it. turns out there is some kind of clip that goes through the rear behind the taillights . but nothing is attached to the clip so water would trickle behind the taillights and into the trunk. i removed the clips and put silicone on them. then i sprayed the whole inside of the rear quarters in the trunk with rubberized undercoating. no problems since. mines a 2010 but probably the same design. you need to pull the carpet and plastic trim pieces in the trunk to really get a good look.

Just yesterday I had my 2013 Mustang checked for the same problem with water in the right quater panel. I have a convertible and it appears that leaves have gotten down inside the panel and caused the plug to clog up. They had to take the back seat out to get to the panel and clean it out. If the plug gets clogged the water will build up from rain, car washes, etc. Hope this helps.
