Official Verdict from the Invoice:
"Owner states water is pooling up in passenger floor.
No visible leaks
Remove right side of dash and center console, remove right side carpet for access and reseal open seam at firewall and kick panel on passenger side. Retest, Ok."
Hope its fixed....

UPDATE:
Well, believe it or not, I think its actually fixed...took it through the touchless carwash on the way home from work and watched with the carpet pulled back and no water!

I think the leak comes from the tires pushing up the water while driving... I went thru it a lot when it rained, I wouldn't drive on a rainny day and the car was still perfect... but when I took it for a long spin... They leak appeared... My car is in the shop and they had to order 2 parts.. I will let you guys know about the one part tomm but I know that they had to change some wire cuz it was burning off due to the electrical malfunction...

2005 Gt Convertible ...June 5 2007. Thought I didn't have water leaks but I noticed passenger side soaked after 5 inches of rain in two days. Car was parked nose down on a 3 degree slope entire time and was not driven. Also the seat right side slide arm was rusty so leak must have been there all along. water appears to be coming from below fuse panel.How do you pull off passenger side access panel?So discouraging.

Hey where's Ford on this? It was right before Christmas that someone posted here that a leak related TSB was in the works. But I just checked my calendar and it's almost 6 months later. Where the f*** is it?
How about a reply from one of the Ford engineers here.

Took it in to the dealer again yesterday and went back with the guy they contract for water leaks and stood around while he did his thing....we put water on it for over an hour and a half and couldn't get the freakin thing to leak.....said the next time I bring it in he will jack up the rear a bit (I park on a slight incline) and see if that makes a difference. He was really nice and kept appologizing say if I could make it leak I could fix it......the saga continues.

this is an absolute outrage.....ford knows exactly where water
is entering and yet you and some poor schmuck from the
dealership, are treated like circus monkeys......i feel ford is
playing all of us for fools.
on the other hand, i love my stang and wouldn't trade her for
the world
