I have'nt driven the stang for 1 week, it was parked im my driveway (slanted driveway). It rained pretty hard for 2 days during that week, Today when I opened the door to give it a wash I found a puddle of water right under the clutch and break pedals! The whole carpet was wet just in that spot, the spot were you put your feet on the drivers side. This never happened before . I then sat in my car and my buddy spraid some water on the car so i could see were the water was leaking in from but no leaks anywere. Were could it have come from? I was thinking through the firewall or the floor boards? Anyome have any idea?..Im gonna post some pics later in the day. Thanks

dude i had the same problem, on my car they hadnt installed the windshield correctly and it was leaking in the left corner of the windshield where it meets the dash so you couldnt visibly see any water coming into the car because it was going behind the dash and into my carpet, check your winshield seal and see if its in bad shape in that particular spot, i had mine resealed for 75$ and no more leak

I thought it was that!..I do have a gap between the windshield and the fender could that be the problem? look at the pic. Thw windshield seems to me sealed good though.

that gap looks kinda big, its hard to tell just by looking at it if the seals good or not, you have to take that molding off, unfortunately its a pain to do, just bring it to a glass place and they can reseal it for like 35$, mine was only 75 because they had to replace something i think

Its either your windsheild or you booster, clutch or gas pedal entrance to the firewall. Take the seat out, lay under the dash and have someone with a hose help you out. Take a flashlight. You dont want to get all comfortable and then have to move.

I've heard from a few people that water can get in from your cowl vent openning. You may want to check in there that no corner is rotted out or cracked.
