actually, after some really bad rainstorms in FL (i think you guys call them "tropical storms"), i had a few drops of water on the seat, thats all. nothing like "water running out"
they replaced the weather stripping on the top (where the edge of the window rests when closed) and then re-indexed the windows
My dealer is Veteran's Ford, in the Tampa bay area, look them up

I'm sorry you are being treated like this. It is against the law. You have a defective product that is covered with a warranty. Your dealer is refusing to fix the problem. Try contacting your state attorney general's office at http://doj.nh.gov/consumer/ Be sure to have all of your documentation of the problem from the dealership, especially the part where they wrote "they all do this" for a fix action.
I have to add that if this is the best dealership around the others must really be bad.
Have you tried posting in the 2005-2009 section? I'm sure I've read of fixes for leaks there. There may even be a TSB on it. Also try a google search of the problem if you haven't already.

These are three threads of many that came up. The third one probably covers what you are experiencing. The TSB fix is to remove the right front fender and reseal a few areas that didn't get it in the factory.
Once again, your dealership is denying warranty coverage and they need to be dealt with. Since they won't deal with you it needs to be taken higher. Usually the state attorney general lives for this sort of thing since they are the consumers advocate. You can try to go higher in the food chain with Ford also.

I think a class action lawsuit is the solution. My Saleen leaks so badly that my Dyson sucks water through the passenger side carpet when I try to vacuum it out.
It's nuts and I can't figure out where the leak is coming from.
It's absurd that you can buy a 20-30-40-50-60-70-80-$90,000 car (Depending on what model you buy, which is another conversation for another day) and have it leak like this.
What's worse is Ford knows about it but even the new cars leak the same.
And they wonder why they're in the Crapper right now. My Toyota Sequioa with 45000 miles on it (my Saleen is an 05 with 36k) doesn't leak a drop.
91 LX: Re-Donated to a kid with Cerebral Palsy; my younger brother. He's going to finish the project. He can't walk, so it's going to get hand controls installed and race it. For details, visit www.myspace.com/projectlowbudget
sounds like u have a sh*t dealer with a horrible service manager. they need to either sub the work out to water leak specialists, who know all the tricks, or but a tech with a brain on it. i can imagine they can't find where its leaking and either replace the defective part, re-seal or add a seal or drain hole to stop the water. its rediculous. try a different dealer.
edit: getting anything out of a class action is very unlikely in this case. its not a safety issue, and not enough stangs do it. ive been at a high volume dealer for about a year and havent had one. (just my opinion of course)

Another vote for calling the state atty gen. Its a warranty issue with a TSB - they need to fix it or replace the car. Guess I got lucky w/my 05 - living in FL, its seen a couple of hurricanes and no leaks. Luck of the draw - hope you get your issue squared away.
Try camping outside the dealership with some signage - "xxxx Dealership sells cars that leak and won't fix them."
Still never figured this whole "leaky interior" thing out. My car has never leaked any water into the interior from anywhere......even after blasting it with a high pressure hose at the local car wash. Hell, my car even weathered out a couple of tropical storms and Hurricane Rita without any dampness getting in. I don't understand why some leak and some don't.

I don't think they correct times at the 1320 for that......

Now imagine how infuriating it would be when they tell you that the leakage is normal...no one else complains about it....and the AG buys that argument.
i think what you describe as a "leak" might be normal. Water will settle under the door and then once opened its released and will "spill" out. Mine doesnt sit in the rain normally but after it gets washed it will do it.
How much water is there? Has any carpet gotten wet? If not then i dont think you actually have a problem. Give us pictures of what you are talking about....
