We have had lots of rain this summer and parked the car on the sloped driveway due to a garage project. Found sometimes 1-2 inch of water in the back section rubber liner or in the wheel well and were puzzled by the source. Last night I sat in the car during a big storm and found water pouring from the driver's side 3rd seat row seat belt hole and down the belt. We do have the sunroof and others have suggested this has something to do with the drainage tube to that so we will be checking and complaining to dealer soon.
Update from Aug 30, 2010: We were just charged over $800. Ford body shop had the whole roof liner and back assembly pulled out. LOTS of evidence of water coming in the sunroof and running back thru the ceiling until poured out the seat belt. They did find the drainage tube had a kink so they replaced it (this must have been there since the car was new.) Anyway, got the car back after 3 days. Parked it on the sloped driveway again and it rained the next night. We found the leak had not been fixed and just as much water was pouring in thru the far rear seat belt hole. When washed the car it came out thru that spot plus the passenger front dash. Back to the dealer today.
