If it was a vent on the bottom of the side, why is water getting in there if the car is just sitting in my driveway? I just returned from Labor Day weekend driving a different vehicle and this Contour got wet in the trunk just sitting there.

Also - I can't view the pictures above for some reason. Says server not available.


I had a similar problem and it turned out that one of the tail-lights was leaking. Dirt had built up around the gasket and was allowing water to enter the housing and then down into the trunk. Had a nice puddle of water after a sizable rain. I removed the tail-light, cleaned the gasket and put some silicone around it. That fixed her up!!!!!
