Are you hosing the outside while this pick is taken?

with out knowing what you are doing I would take a guess. You are filling up the cowl channel somehow and it is leaking from a round hole way up top near the dash pad...looking up from the floor.

Get in on the floor on your back....yeah I know it hurts. with a flash light and see. You can look straight up near the kick panel side. You will see a round hole and there is jute padding inside it. Stick your finger up into the hole, lifting the pad and see if any water runs out. check my photo albums.

here are 2 pics.

One looking up. See the drops on the white tape, there was water coming in here. Also, next pic see dripping under junction box? This appeared to be coming from under the junction box.

KNOCK WOOD. This leak seems to have stopped after doing the grommets and the pinch weld seam with 3 M Seam Sealer.

How are you water testing this? Where are you putting the hose? Make sure you read the TSB. Check diagrams of possible water path.

Good luck.

I haven't had a chance to get down and dirty and find out were the water is coming from yet. From what I can tell after doing some research and help from this forum I think it is coming in through those grommet things. I am not hosing the car down in that pic. It was raining like a **** and I got in the car to go to the store and that's what I saw. WTF FORD why isn't this a recall? Seems like tons of people have this same problem. Thanks everyone for your help. Hopefully I will be able to fix it soon.

First thing...and the easiest...is to stick your finger in the drain things on the firewall and see if water comes rushing out.

If it's not that then, the next thing seems to be the grommets or the body seam in front of them. When you take off the black cowl pieces, if you take off one of the grommets you might see water inside the cowl...there should not be any if the grommets are properly sealed.

Yes it should be a recall. Some one posted somewhere a page for entering car complaints with NHTSA. I recommend everyone with a leak do that. menition the safety issues involved like wet junction box causing lights to go on and off, cruise control malfunctions, cutting out, etc.

Best of luck.
