yes, this was just so you can see the TSB numbers, the links are direct to Ford and they will not work here, but at top of forum page there is a link mustang TSB's where I think you can check the TSB's.

They fixed my leak and even relapeced the pad under the carpet that smelled mildewish. They told me it was coming in from the cowl at the wiper not the floor as assumed.

it was at Brain Hoskins ford in coatsville if anyone cares.

Bruiser, I had exactly the same experience tonight. They scratched the rear quarter panel, left thecarpets dirty and when I went back to show them, I ripped the carpet up infront of the service rep and the passenger floor and insulation/ carpet backwas soaking wet.
I freaking lost it.[:@]

ORIGINAL: bascho

The TSB has the tech looking in no less than 10 places. The water that is entering the cabin is doing so from the cowl. The cowl captures all the water coming off the windshield. It will pool inside the cowl like a sink if the water is entering faster than it can drain. The problem is that the cowl is full of holes (10 grommets for attaching the cowl and a large hole for the filter). If installed correctly all the grommets and the filter gasket and other seal will hold the accumulated water. But anyone one of those grommets or filter gasket or other seals could leak if not installed correctly and that is why so many people are getting leaks from different places. When a certain grommet is leaking, the water will drip onto a cross-beam that runs from the left to the right side of the dash in an arch. Water follows the arch of the beam to the passenger side A-pillar and leaks down on top of the SJB. Some grommets will leak down the firewall. If it's the gasket for the filter then in leaks into the plenum and out the drain hose.

As you can see they're a few entry points into the cabin.....but they are all related to the cowl. I'm pretty confident that the TSB's scope is large enough to fix all the leaks we've been talking about in this thread.
So, if the cowl grommets are the source of the problem. can removing the cowl to replace the cabin air filter create the leak problem by messing with the grommets? I don't have the leak (at least I don't think so - afraid to look), buy I was planning on changing the cabin air filter soon (12,000 miles on the car right now). Now I'm hesitant to mess with the cowl.

No - Ford's official strategy continues to be denial.
