Water in the trunk after it rains

Recommended Posts

I have a 2011 FFH, 85k miles.  After a recent rain i noticed a drip below the rear bumper.  Pulled up the trunk liner flap and noticed I had water under the spare and the jack storage compartment was full of water.  My car was parked uphill in the driveway during the rain and it has a mild slope to the street.  
 

After drying everything out I put silicone sealant on the tail light fasteners thinking they might be the cause.  Expecting more rain tonight so we’ll see if that was it.

 

Anyone else have this problem?

 

Thanks!

Had this happen on my 2007 SEL. But only the wells on either side of the trunk. Check the vents in the rear quarter panel, you can see them from the outside, from under the fender, or rear bumper cover. I pulled them out, from the inside and then taped them mostly shut. The aged plastic curled a little bit.

Any luck fixing this? I've noticed the water pooling by the jack and same on the other side. Tried hosing down the car to see if I could watch for leaks but no luck.

I have a 2017 hybrid fusion. We noticed in 2023 or 2024 it leaks from the area near the back window and roof of the car. Sometimes at the car wash, but usually during heavy rain. And the widows fog up over night on really, really cold days. 
 

Ford said I need to pay to have it resealed. 
 

I’ve never checked the trunk but it was wet recently.

If you have a sunroof like my 2011, it most likely is leakinf from the drain tube thar runsfrom the top down the passenger side od the rear roof pillar and dow to the rear quarter panel where it drains out t.  My tubing was cracked and really hard to get to, so It would fill the jack compartment amd then overflow to the spare.  I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the compartment to allow it to drain out.
