Water leak
Has anybody ran their car through a touch less wash and heard what sounds like water running down the doors? After I hard it for a bit, I thought for sure it was something that was supposed to happen but I hadn't heard it like that in previous cars. Then the pressure of the water hit the passenger side window and I saw a trickle of water coming from the side view window area, inside the car! I checked the windows and they were up as far as they could go. I just bought the car, so hadn't noticed it before. Anybody else notice this?

Sounds like the door water shield is not sealing completely to your door.
If you take the door panel off, you'll see a plastic piece covering the door opening. This catches water that runs down the window into the door and directs it out through drain holes. Sounds like yours is not sealed completely.
Take the door panel off and use the hose to run some water down the window. You should be able to see where it's leaking from.
Simple fix. Had to do it to both doors on my old bonneville.

Thank you Deysha, I was going to contact them on my day off later this week. I heard the "trickle" again last night when I was sitting through a rain storm. Sounds almost like there is water dripping down the inside of the door somehow. I'll let you know what I found out. Thanks again!

Well it seems like they fixed it. The dealer had some sealer specialist come in and take a look. They resealed the doors and made some adjustments to the windows. It was pretty tough being without the Stang for half of a beautiful summer day though.
