Passenger side water leaking

My 2014 just started leaking all over the passenger side under the seat from the footwell to the back seat. I checked under the shroud near the cabin filter and it doesn't seem like there's any build up of leaves/water in there. Called Ford and they said it probably isn't covered by warranty which kinda grinds my gears but I need to get it fixed asap as it's supposed to rain for at least the next 2 weeks. Anyone had a similar situation with their cars? Ford said it could be the seal at the top where the window seals but it's hard to see.

Probably going to end up taking it to Ford but that won't be till Monday so I might try to trace it down this weekend.

Thanks

Could be the window/door seal but you should see water marks up high.

Might need to pull the cowl and look in there. Does your car have a cabin air filter? Check the seal and ducting where it’s pulling air in.

I pulled the cowl earlier today and it wasn't pooled up at all. Cabin filter was bone dry as well. I was sure that was going to be it :-(

There should be a drain or two on the bottom of the car below the sill plate. It might be plugged down there and you may not see any pooling up top.

FWIW my POS 02 focus was always wet on the pass side. Finally pulled the cowl and it was bone dry. Did find the cabin air filter cover wasn't on right. Can't recall if the filter was wet; just dirty as far as I recall.

Just ran out and looked from the inside under the glove box. The foam around the filter is bone dry and nothing seems to be dripping or wet at all at the front. I think it's leaking from the door and traveling down a seam. In my 97 I had a leak on the rear quarter glass that caused the same kind of leak up at the front of the car.

No warranty prob and they said no courtesy cars for 3 weeks :mad:. So I'll prob have to put a permit on my winter car. They said they'd need it for a few days possibly.
