We've been in a very serous drought here in Central Texas for the last year or more, but this weekend we just got dumped on, like 7+ inches in three days. My Stang was parked in the driveway from around 5:00PM on Friday until about 6:00AM on Monday with it's nose a little higher than the tail.
As i drove to work down my street i hear water running, sounded like someone slowly pouring out of a glass. I slowed down and turned the radio off and heard nothing. I accelerated again and heard it again. Pulled over and turned on the lights and could see a little water on the passenger's floor mat. It seems that some water built up somewhere within the unibody and was dumping into the passenger compartment (passenger side only) when I accelerated.
I put a small bath-towel/large-rag that I always keep handy down there and went to work. Upon arrival it was pretty well soaked, I figure a quart or more of water came in during my commute. It seemed to have stopped pretty much by the time I got here though.
So, is there any known issue with a weep-hole that can be plugged by road debris or leaves? Any TSB on this? I cannot abide with this situation and if there's nothing known that I can do I'll have to take her in to the dealership. Last weekend I put the agent-47 mirrors on and thought for a minute that the water was coming in through there, but I saw a couple of drips coming from up behind the glove box. The glove box itself was dry inside. On the old Stang this was a known defect, but those problems only showed after many years of corrosion.
