Well I got up this morning to put in the Weathertech floormats I bought off craigslist. When I lifetd the front pass side carpet mat I noticed it was wet on the bottom. A first I figured the dealer washed the carpet before I picked up the truck. I checked under the rear and drivers mats and they were dry. The carpet under the pass mat is wet.

I have read on this forum that it's probally the windshield that needs resealing. I also read on another mitsu forum that it could be ther heater box drain coming loose. I am guessing its the windshield since the truck usually needs a 20% incline for the heater box to drain into the cab if the drain is loose.

Anybody else have an idea what it could be before I deal with the dealer headache? Thanks in advance!

 

Take it back to the dealer and bitch.

 

Yeah I got that part figured out. I just want to know if anyone else had water issues from something other than the windshield or heater box. I dont want them digging into it more than they have to.

 

I wouldn't worry abt it, they get paid to figure/fix cars so let them deal w/ it.

 

I did find a TSB on the issue. Could only get the title for free. Have to pay to read the TSB. The title is 06-42A-010 NOV 06 Body - Water leaks into cabin

So the dealer should have a good starting point. Here is a list of recalls and TSBs for 2006 Raider 4.7Lhttp://www.alldata.com/TSB/40/06403473.html

 

Trust me the dealer is gonna have a lot more info then you think. I work for a Ford dealer and alldata dosent come close w/ the amount of recall's, tsb's and ssm's that dealers have access to. If its a common problem they'll have no problem fixing it.

 

here's the latest info on your water issue it was posted in this months tech talk...
