I own a 2006 ford mustang and a couple weeks ago we (florida) got alot of rain. Well a day later i got in my car and found water on my drivers side floor board. So far ive checked the gromits, windshield the drins in between the fire wall and both windows. I can not find the dam leak any were can some one give me any other suggestions with very descriptive details of were to look next?

There are a ton of posts regarding this issues....start searching brotha! Or, close all the doors/windows and fill the car up with a hose, until water starts leaking out!

The plastic clips that the wiper cowl sits in was the cause of my leak. I sealed them with silicone, but the tsb specifically said not to use silicone.

I have water that I believe comes down my A-pillar on the passenger side and forms a stream along the edge of the foot well by the door, but it doesn't happen often enough for me to get worried yet. It's only when there is an ungodly downpour and the planets align correctly. I keep it in a garage now..

If it's makin' it in on the driver's side, then it's a window seal, or the grommet(s).

The TSB for the chronic water leak is for the water that would be found on the passengers side by the kick panel. Then there's the issue with the plugged grommets (2 which are accesible on the firewall) which will allow water to come in thru the cabin air filter and again, on the passenger side. Unless you're parked on a hill with the drivers side lower than the passenger side, you have something else going on.

The TSB covers driver's side leak as well. Link given.

I assumed it was passenger side only since 99% of reported leaks are on the passenger side (or so it seems). Five years and I think I've heard of maybe 2 other driver side leaks compared to dozens of passenger side. Been a long time since I read the TSB.

Yeah, not nearly as common to occur on the driver's, but they go over it for the minority that have this show up on that side.

Usually related to the seal if it shows up on driver's:

Item #7 in TSB.
