S550 2016 coupe: Found 5 water leaks into rear wheel wells.
I just got done sealing all the rain water leaks I found so I thought I'd share. At the bottom corners of the rear window there were small cracks letting water in on both sides. I had a window repair shop fix that. Water was still getting in but not as much. I took off the bumper skin and found that Ford had put stickers over holes that go into the truck and they were coming loose. There's 5 stickers in total but two of them have water that runs right over the stickers. I also found that there were cracks in the sealant over one of the seams on the drivers side that I resealed (picture attached). There's a good chance that water is sitting in peoples wheel wells and they don't even know it.
