Water Leak - Passenger Side

[3er]

I went to install my radar detector and dash cam earlier this afternoon and noticed that my passenger carpet was soaked with water. We've had a lot of rain the past couple of days in Houston, so I'm almost certain there's a leak somewhere (e.g., sunroof drain issues seem to be quite common). My 2019 F-250 had the AC drain issue and also soaked the passenger carpet. However, given I haven't used the AC much yet and it's been raining a lot (my truck is parked outside), I'd venture its a water leak. Anyone have a similar experience on these Gen 3 Raptors? Advice I can bring to my dealer? Tips appreciated!

BTW, I wonder how many water issues go unnoticed b/c the rubber floor mats largely hide the problem. It's only when you pull the floor mat and touch the carpet that the issue becomes immediately apparent.

As an aside, I was rear-ended while my truck was parked the other day - hit and run. Thankfully just a cracked taillight and slightly bent bumper - no body damage. I grabbed the license plate and they have insurance, but I didn't have my dash cam installed yet and there were no outdoor cameras that picked it up - we'll see if they admit to it. Good news is my dealership has a collision center, so at least it's two birds, one stone between this and the water issue. You know, silver lining .

So I had this issue on the driver side from the moonroof. I was told that the issue is that I back into my driveway and leave the truck with the rear wheels higher than the front wheels (small grade incline). I was told that there is a 90 degree bend in the front moonroof drain and it can't keep up when there is heavy rain. Now when we are having heavy rain I pull in nose first and have never had a repeat of the issue.

I’ve had the same issue. I think Ford service said it was the A/C condensation line that is installed incorrectly. Ford is fully aware of the issue but they dont do anything to rectify it. It’s covered under warranty when you take it in.

I also found this is what works for me as well. I had the same passenger side leak. I've pulled that side apart to check for disconnected,clogged drains and everything else mentioned on this forum. My driveway is also angled, and I found that it only leaks from the grab handle when I back into the driveway (rear wheels higher than front). Now whenever there is rain in the forecast I pull in front front first and havent experience any leaks. Its kinda stupid that I have to deal with it but dealer can't find a fix and I don't like leaving in their hands since I find them to be pretty much useless. I now just consider it a small quirk to drive such a badass machine.

Mines leaked around these 2 pieces under the headliner. They’re riveted in place and are not secured tight. I was able to see daylight around it when moving it around. I threw some silicone around it and fixed the issue. I followed a YouTube video

I had this issue on my gen 2. Checked a/c and moonroof. No issues but the passenger carpet and the door sill were wet. Door sill was full of water. I found 4 rubber plugs were never installed from the factory, where the a pillar runs down the firewall, inside the front fender. I got them from the dealer and no issues since. Hope this helps someone.
