Mondeo water ingress
Guy's
Three weeks ago i changed my tin top, an 06 plate mondeo.After i had had it for 4 days i came out of work after a heavy rain shower,to find water on
the inner sill on front and back offside doors.
I booked it straight in to the dealer and was told it needed new door seals that had to be ordered.
The new seals were fitted on friday morning,all sorted i thought.
Now it rained heavily during the night,so i went to have a look.Imagine my surprise
when i opened the door to find nice pools of water on the inside of the new seals.
Can anyone shed any light on the problem
or has anyone had the same problem with a mondeo.I would like to have some idea what to complain about when i call the dealer,I love the car but this
is starting to pee me off
Many thanks,
Andy

the way i used to find leaks was to put an oik inside and run a hose over the area,could be window seals or sun roof drains/seals
who cares who wins

The car has no sunroof but i will get them to check the window seals.
You can see the water trail going over the door seal when you open the door.
I'm puzzled.

Google is your friend
Have a a look HERE
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

my mondeo used to let more water in than the titanic, Mine was caused by a rear light seal being naffed
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I must have had a good one. Mine never rained in, however it would missfire, cut out, make plumes of smoke, dump its coolant bits would fall off, as
well as the gearbox giving up the ghost.
And that was a brand new one, even the courtesy car broke down (Mondeo).
Get your money back.

hi
the door foil sealer which sticks the foil to the door at the bottom will have a split in it

Rear lights are a common source. However from your description it sounds like it could be coming through the door. Check the seals behind the
door-cards are OK.

Hi
I agree with A fulton as I had the same problem on an 04 plate car. I resealed the door liners and have not had a problem since.
I beleive that it is a common problem and Ford should be aware of it.

as mentioned above there will be a ten mil gap in the sealer that holds the membrane on the door behind the trim ,usually along the bottom edge.seen
loads of them in our dealership.
im in my own little world...its ok though they know me there

My mondeo litterally filled up the spare wheel well with water. Started smelling damp so instead of fixing the leak I just drilled some holes in the
boot floor to let the water out.
Problem solved
P.S.
I'm not kidding!!!

guy over the road bought a brand new volvo last year, that kept flooding inside too. of course the dealer could never make it do it so told him there
was nothing wrong, so he complained to volvo that their dealer weren't interested and said he got a lawer involved. problem solved. they gave
him a new car.
er, not much help to you really.. sorry

worth checking the boot seals too
Think about it, think about it again and then do it.
