You are in NH huh? What dealer did you go to? I would go to Portsmouth Ford, I like them and they are usually good.

I will try to figure out how to post pics. However....THEY DO NOT ALL DO THIS...therefore I don't consider it normal. I supplied the AG with picks of an 05 coupe I tested and showed them that that particular card did not do that. So?

Also, it is worse on the passenger side than the driver's side..so that means it can be modified and fixed, no?

I am in RI. I filled out the profile while I was watching tv, I editied it but Ithink I forgot to save it. I will edit it again. Dealer is Tasca. They have a good reputation but as I say "polite and customer friendly" doesn't get the car fixed. Only skill and determination can do that.

OK. I can't figure out how to get the picks in. But, I did get an album in. Go to
albums and look at Murry 1. Especially, if you look closely at the one marked "runoff" you can see a stream of water dribbling off the car from the center of the sill.

Default I don't know what is the matter with Ford.

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.
I just junked a 1991 Ford escort wagon last year. the spring perches were rotted out...but the doors didn't leak a drop. I guess they forgot how to build cars.

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....
The irony is, I told my friend who liked my car about this problem. I told him not to buy one unless he leak tested it first. So he goes out finds a low mi 07 at a dealer, runs it through the car wash three times....doesn't leak a drop so he buys it and he is happy.

let's see if this is a pic?





if you look hard you can see the water pouring off the center of the sill?

this pick is of ice on the sill










These pics are not necessarily on the same day. I am sure the ice picture was a different day from the rest.

Lol its not that big of a deal, my dealership took the car in, fixed the problem, took out the seats and carpeting and made sure it was all clean and there was no mildew and the put everything back in nice and neat.

Hell they even washed and waxed it for me which I thought was real nice.

Just blame your dealership for being so ****ty.

Which leak did they fix for you? Did you have the footwell leak or did youhave theunder door leak as shown in pics. If under door....*HOW* did they fix it.

wait the issue is that it leaks onto the sill? thats where the water is supposed to drain from the door, otherwise the bottom of the door would rot out. unless im misunderstanding your problem. after hard rain even my new edge stang drains onto the sill.
does it leak only after a blasting rain storm? and when your hosing it down to check it the ford acceptable method is holding the hose 6 inches above where you're testing with hose pointing up, letting it fall onto the area your testing, so if your aiming directly at it (im not saying you are) then its going to be more likely to leak.
