Water In Trunk

Jinx · Jan 3, 2016

This is my mothers car.
2005 convertible.
The entire trunk deck and carpet are soaked. Not from any leaking cargo.
The car is kept garaged so the only exposure to rain is during driving and while parked at work. Is this model notorious for leaking trunk seals? Of is the exposure to water coming from the underside?

Her battery was dead this morning and the trunk lid light no longer functions. The battery is less than 4 months old. Unsure if these are related to the water in the trunk.

Put the top down and go all the way around it. You will see a rain flap down in there. Make sure that the rain flap is routed into the rain channel, all the way around starting from the driver's side door.

Oh... and remove the water from the car.

check fuses

blah blah

I'll let her know. She says the trunk light is working again.

I would guess that you would have mentioned if there was a seal problem between the rear glass and car top.

No water in the cabin of the car just the trunk.

Well she thinks she finally got it fixed. The stealership claims it was a leak around the 3rd brake light. So they replaced a $74 dollar assembly (from Ford direct) for $255 and $175 labor fees. I think she was taken advantage of and am still trying to convince her to go to the mechanic I trust with my stang.
