Hello,
Every time it rains, my front, passenger side floor puddles with water.
Any ideas?
It could be a plain old fashioned leak around the windscreen - difficult to find but try sitting in the car while somebody plays a water hose over the windscreen.
It could also be a blocked drain in the ventilation system - fresh air is normally drawn in to a car via vents at the bottom of the windscreen. These vents normally lead to a "box" like structure where any water that enters the vents drops to the bottom and then drains away via a short hose that runs to somewhere underneath the car.
If the drain outlet or hose gets blocked (by leaves for example), it can cause the box to fill with water to the point where it can leak out in to the passenger area.
Hope this helps you find the problem.
I just finished repairing the same leak on my friends 96 Taurus. If you remove the passenger side plastic panel just below the windshied, you will see the box structure that holds the cabin air filter. There is a plastic cover over this which is held on by 2 screws. This cover has a piece that goes down the left side of the filter box. It is integral to the cover. On our vehicle, this piece had broken off and we found it sitting between the box and the fender. When we got it out we could see that it was very thin, and had just broken at the right angle joint. Joined the two pieces up with some special glue, and then when the glue was set we put silicone on the outside and the inside of the joint. Then refitted it. Most of the time is taken up waiting for the glue to dry. I notice many similar complaints for other model Ford vehicles. I am wondering if they used the same setup for all the models. I hope this helps somebody.
