I can't tell whether it's coming up from below, around the rear suspension or something, or from the decklid. The left and right sides appear to be getting wet, and the spare-wheel well is pretty wet under the tire. I'm stumped. silver 99 svt bassani exhaust

The driver-side cabin vent is completely dislocated, so I'll get on that right away. But I also noticed a heavy trickle of water coming down the C-pillar, between the outer body shell and the inner body shell, pooling on the left "ear" behind the wheel well before waterfalling over into the spare tire well. I'm seriously hoping the rear window seal isn't leaking. I REALLY don't want a dealer extracting the window and trying to reinstall it. It'll end up worse than it is now. Maybe I'll try to pin down the leak from the outside using duct tape and a water hose or something and try to seal it myself. Thanks again. Isn't Ford great sometimes?! I can't wait for the car that is both technically outstanding (like the SVT Tour is) AND mechanically sound from Ford. silver 99 svt bassani exhaust
