help with a leak

[haunter]

So a few weeks ago after a big storm, I was greeted with a small pool in the passenger front floorboard.
I went ahead and removed the front cowl and cleaned those drains, and the passenger side one was very full of leaves and dirt ETC.
2 more rains, nada.

Big storm last night, and lots of water again

I see some water trail that indicates it is coming down the A-pillar and exiting where that meets the dash.
I am guessing sunroof related?

IE I already did this:

Water leak

After washing my car, I have noticed the past two times that water leaks into my passenger floor board and I was wondering if anyone else had this issue? To dry it I have been taking my mats out and drying them in the sun but I also put my fans on high heat on my feet and leave it running with...

cleaning the cowl drains out, sorry, I meant to link a specific post in that thread and it didnt work

Did you clean the sunroof drains? The hoses that are in the pillar.

ok so the other things to check-- as you mentioned sunroof drains, door drains clogged, potential windshield seal leak. Also potential that maybe putting it back together from the last clean -- maybe there is a small gap or leak with that. Do the easy/likely first. sunroof and door bottom. test a little and if needed go back into the mess you played with last time. test again etc. I've seen more strange leaks places but not on this model of car so far.

I've had success with the moonroof drains by squirting some WD40 down the lines after cleaning them.

front sunroof drains were not flowing at all, they are now!
fingers crossed this does it. was definitely dumping water right into the ceiling of the car

Could somebody please point out where the drains are within the sunroof? I want to unclog them (water builds up on corners of sunroof) but I can't find any drain holes. Thanks.

Puddle of water on floor

So I've got an issue that is not only annoying, but is going to rot out my floor in my SHO. Typically after a heavy rain overnight, I come out to find my passenger carpet soaked. I have a weathertech mat on the carpet and it typically has a little water in it when this happens. I was thinking...

The moonroof gasket on my 2015 Taurus leaks in a heavy rain. Began in 2015 as a leak only when going through a car wash. Gotten progressively worse. Dealer has cleaned drain lines twice in 3 years under warranty. Most of the time it is closed so debris is not the root cause. Is there an after...

the holes are there- must be "mudded" over - just because s/roof is closed it still lets water in- that's why the drains are there - as i mentioned in my Jan/23 post try a squirt of air - - pour some water in the gasketed area and look down on ground near splashield - should drip out - maybe exit of drain is plugged up with road debris - wiggle the splashield around - blow air in behind - worked for me - and check the oval drains at btm of doors - they'll plug and you can get water filling up in door - my rear pass door did that -that lower seal sits tight to the btm edge of door - inhibits drains doing their job.
