Mercury Mountaineer Sunroof Leaking?

This is my 2007 Mountaineer. Everytime AFTER it rains, my front, passenger floor gets SOAKING wet. Funny, it's never wet WHILE it is raining. About 2 days after the rain it starts to get wet and by the 3rd day, it's soaked. Been to the dealership 4 times, and everytime they say it's the sunroof. Drains were replaced 3 times and the whole sunroof assembly was replaced once. I have NO clue what this could be. If you think you know what it is, feel free to comment! Thanks. Hopefully i'll get this fixed before my warranty is up in March.

same shit happens to my truck, except the water comes through the buttons to turn the headlamps on...

@clockwork1230 Wow that sounds like a safety issue with water around the electrics. While i do like the truck, the quality of it is complete crap

check under the floor for any hole, i dont think a car that new would do that but if there r any i would bring it into the shop

The problem has been fixed. We finally found that a seal in the fender well for the sunroof was not properly welded at the factory. Had it fixed about 5 months ago and it hasn't leaked since.

Ok check this out, I have a 0'6 Mercury Mountaineer and just a few days ago, I experienced that same problem. And as I speak, another rain storm is bearing down on my area. But the leak in my truck is coming from where the 2 front interior switches, and the rear air blower control is. And mine started to leak only after I started driving about 2 blocks.

If the problem persists, tell the mechanic to check the seals in the fender well for the sunroof. This is what my problem was. There are seals in the fender wells for the sunroof to drain the water that builds up on it. The seal in my Mountaineer was broken, thus allowing water to flow into the cabin and soaking my floor. Proper welding of the seal has since stopped the problem and no more water gets in the car. Took the dealership 5 times to find and fix the leak!!!

@4wheeler14 Yes, the first time it happend, i almost had a panic attack thinking some kind of electric short was going to happen, or with my luck. an electrical fire.. it only happens on days of rain where the rain is coming down hard, but its still an issue. I love my mercury also.. but youre right, the quality is comeplete crap. Thats the good old Ford company for ya. lol

I know your roof is leaking and all... But a vacuum never hurt anyone.

had the same problem, from all the research i did and self diag. i can say the problem is either with the seals from windshield and sunroof, drainage system of the sun roof, or the tubes attached to the drainage of the sunroof. A car that new should have no problem with the under chasis. Mine was fixed by replacing the seals of the windshield. They were loose in the upper corners causing water to enter.
