Hi, I'm Cody. So I have an 03 mustang coup, and I have water leaking into my passenger side floorboard. I've searched all over the Internet and still can't find a solution. I'll post a picture of where it's coming from. Can someone help me with this, or point me to the right forum to ask this?

Does the leak smell like anti-freeze?
Is the vehicle in question a convertible?
Does it leak after it's been sitting in the rain or after the car has been running a while?
Have you noticed that it's worse when the A/C or defroster is running?

Does not smell like anti freeze. It's not a convertable. It definitely leaks when it rains. And I dont think it's worse with the ac or defroster.

Time to pull out the sprinkler. Chances are that your windshield is leaking around the perimeter or that there's a bad or missing grommet in the cowl area.

The only other things that come to mind are door seals.

I checked under the cowl, and I cant see any drains or grommets. They're hidden under another metal piece.

These things can be aggravating as hell. For the longest time I thought that the condenser drain in mine was clogged causing the carpet to be wet.

After a lot of trial and error I narrowed it down to the driver side door seal. Water was coming in and going down the A pillar.

Start small and get water going over small portions that you think might allow water in. Depending on where you live, you may need to wait until spring to get the garden hose out.
