The aerial mounts on the front have a habit of leaking if they have been disturbed but that usually ends up in a puddle around the gearstick
#7: Re: Water inside car! Author: gaffa786, Location: 2 Places at oncePosted: Wed May 09, 2012 3:51 am ---- Not sure where the drain hole on the door is. And i didnt remove the foam as it did not come in the way so i left it how it was untouched. And thanks ill have a look at the aerial mount

If you have any discarded rubbish (speaker wire etc) it could be blocking these holes.

Typical crap Ford design, they decided to make the sunroof drain tubes empty out in to the sills
He did have the complete dash & windscreen out while trying to find the leak
Wonder how many people on here actually bother to check / clear the drain holes

Thanks in advance

Look at the door from the bottom. They are on the seam between the inner and outer skin.
