Water leak....HELP!!!!
I have a 2004 Excursion 4x4 with only 85k. miles on it soI hate to think about selling her.
My problem is that there is a water leak on the drivers side, either around the windshield or door weather strip. I say weather strip, because when I opened the door this morning, after a very heavy rain last night, there was some moisture on the inside of the door where the seal shouldhave stopped it. My wife saw water on the emergency break pedal, and has felt a couple drops on her foot.
This is my second EX with the same problem, except thefirst one, a 2000 model, was much worse. It was leaking down on the GEM and fuse box. Replacing the windshield did not even slow the leak down. Afterseveral attempts to fix the problem with no luck, I decided to sell. I don’twant to sell this one, but if I can’t fix the leak before the electrical problems start, I won’t have a choice.
From what I have read, this is not an isolated problem,and someone has to have an answer.
Please help!

I can't imagine selling a truck because you can't find a leak. 
. Start by isolating the door and playing a garden sprinkler on it for 2-3 hours. I had a windshield leak one time that started after a flakey glass shop replaced the cracked one.

I had this happen to me it was the windshield at the top. The most important thing is the fuse block under the dash. It will get wet and go bad you can not buy a new one. I put a cover over mine after the windshield was replaced. I did have to find a new fuse/relay box for my X in a junk yard. Good luck

Also be careful to close the window when you are using the window washer because that water will come right back and go into the switches in the door panel and you don't want a nightmare in there!
