This sucks

I'm stuck at home and can't drive my truck cause it's raining and it's leaking into the truck. I've had the truck for only 4 freaking days. $60k and the roofs leaking hope the dealership fixes this quick cause were going out of town Wednesday and need the truck

I dont think it's coming from the moon roof. It's the passenger side on the top of the A pillar ( I think that's what it's called)

I just had my A pillar apart to install the extended remote start antennae. My guess would be the door seal itself. EpicCowlick had some wind noise issues with his truck and it is plausible that the door seal would let rain in. He did a video on how to improve the door seal.

Could be the drain for the sunroof is clogged and the water is backing up and leaking in the truck. My wife's Saturn had this issue during heavy down pours it would flood the trunk and the right above the driver seat. I ended up having to find where the connections for the drains were and use small zip ties to make sure they were tight and then find where the drains terminated and make the outlets bigger by cutting the ends off. Man, there was a lot of trash that ended up being flushed out when I poured water in the sun roof. Hopefully it's something simple like this but when it comes to water it has a mind of it's own. Good Luck!

I just saw your wind noise comment. If you are getting wind noise, you might actually have a gap big enough to see light through it. It could be a minor tweaking of the weatherstripping or a door alignment issue. I would take a good look at the weatherstripping and see if it run right.

My truck has absolutely no wind noise at all. It is by far the quietest truck I have ever owned.

I have not commented before about wind noise, or in my case, no wind noise. This is the quietest truck I have ever owned. 19000 miles of quiet...

Just to clarify, I didn't have wind noise problems on the 2011. I did the door seal mod as a preventative measure and to lessen the bang when kids slam the door. I have had two previous Fords that had door rattle and noise issues and this is now just a habit to reinforce the door seals.
