Water leak, passenger floor

[GearHd6]

Hello all. I've had my 23 BL 2 door for 4 days now and have found a water leak. It rained pretty good last night and this morning I opened the passenger door and saw water sitting on the sill, and the carpet floor mat was wet. Had anyone seen this before?

That is where the water was sitting.

Take the front panel off and check the gaskets. Might have a bad spot causing a bad seal

My guess is that it’s coming from the hard top. You can run a hose over the roof and see it you can identify the leak.

Those drips where my finger is, is actually under the door. I don't think a leaking top could get water there. I'll have to sit in there while the wife sprays it with a garden hose.

Hi Jeff. Can you send us a DM with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into this for you.

FWIW

I just took delivery of my 2-door hardtop. I noticed in the pre-PDI pics the dealer sent me there was a note on some paperwork from the plant stating the front left hardtop panel leaked and not to water test. Sure enough....it leaked.

The dealership "adjusted" the latches and it hasnt leaked on me since.

I don't belive the latches are actually adjustable, but could be loose or need to be shimmed, etc.

I appreciate everyone's responses. I guess it'll be worth popping those panels off and checking. I really hadn't wanted to mess with them in fear of me actually causing a leak by disturbing the factory placement. I guess I'll pull them and take a look.

what was the fix? Just found the same issue on my 2023 raptor.

I really don't think I've fixed it yet. It hasn't been out in the rain much. I really think it's coming from the triangle rubber piece at the front of the door glass. If I wipe the inside plastic with a wet cloth I can see water marks where rain has been running down from that area.

I had water intrusion (also 23 2dr BL) along the passenger door and the rear window. You can see the rear window here, the parts that look like clear rivers (like right down the center) are on the inside of the window. I suggest checking by opening the rear window and looking for the runs. I don't have any pictures of the front passenger door, but imagine it could be a similar issue if it's leaking and running down through the plastic covers on the door sill.

When I took it to the dealership, they found the seals between the top of the windshield and top and also the rear window seal had "flat spots". Frankly, I've heard of other 2023 Broncos having similar seal issues. I think they had a bad run of seals starting in late 2022 and through early 2023.

My seals were replaced under warranty and in the front I've not had issues. I think I see rivulets on the rear window again, so I'll have to take it in for that and a CSM issue.

Will do shortly, just have not picked out what dealer to take it to yet.

I have the same issue, it’s weeping through the airbag and the dealer refuses to warranty fix it. I’ve had my Bronco about 6 months now. They tell me I need to take it to a mom and pop shop to get it fixed.

Any chance you could help me out? I took delivery of my 2024 Badlands Sasquatch on November 15th. As soon as I looked inside I noticed standing water on the hero switches, dripping down the 12" entertainment screen. And I don't mean just a little.... Went in to the dealership and they didn't notice it, despite doing the PDI. Took it apart and they told me that the seal that runs across the front of the windshield had loose screws in it, that nothing was attached to the threads and that maybe it was stripped out. A week later they told me it's fixed and ready for pick up. Fast forward a few days later, we got some decent rain and whenever I make right hand turns, water pours down through one of the seams in the plastic above the passenger's side visor. I'm going to take it in again, I'm just wondering what my options are if the problem is deeper than just a screw or a seal and the problem doesn't go away. For 74k I was pretty frustrated with receiving it from the factory in this shape. Thanks in advance!
