I've got a 2005 Sport Trac, and I'm wondering if anyone else has or had issues with water on the floorboards? I've only had it for a couple months, and just recently found water pooled under the floor passenger side, both front and back. I pulled floor plugs to drain it and tried to dry it out with fans, as the foam under the rubber was totally soaked. I also found the front drivers side to be damp underneath, along with quite a bit of surface rust, so it's been ongoing for a while. The passenger side really isn't rusty like its a more recent issue on that side of the vehicle. I had a glass shop check it and they did reseal the windshield as they found it to be leaking, and I hoped that would solve the issue. I put it all back together and after an evening of rain, it felt wet again the next morning under the flooring in the same areas, front and back passenger, and the front driver floor! I did the garden hose test with a buddy and there was no really obvious sign of water coming in, even with a good soaking. The only spot that I could see a few drips was around where the e-brake cable gives through the floor, there is a rubber grommet and it seemed tight, but a few drops looked to be coming from that area. I wouldn't think there'd be enough to soak the floor though, and that doesn't give an explanation for the passenger side. I've checked the sunroof drain lines, they are connected, I shot some air down the lines, there's no sign of wetness or staining up in the headliner, the doors seal tight at the top, the mouldings all seem good, so I'm just at a loss here. Any help would be appreciated!
