It's very pleasant when you pay for a car like this and you have water in the trunk in prime.

If we find more people with this problem, I'm sure that we could do a class action on Ford. Keep me inform if you talk to your dealer about this problem.

Good luck

Can someone draw a picture of this faulty design? I'm having a hard time trying to imagine how the water over flows into the trunk. I felt the hole where the water was pouring out, but it was more like a hard metal trim.

After having parked facing downhill through a few storms, there were no leaks in the trunk. It is the faulty parked facing uphill design. I looked inside under the top and it's like a bowl shape that's suppose to funnel the water away, but when you're parking uphill, there is a greater chance of water overflowing, because that U shape has is now lowered on one side.

Been almost 8 months and through dozens of storms parked facing downhill, no leaks at all.
