My truck was built Jan 17 this year. Dealer indicates the same as the OP - you can't see the issue unless the windshield is removed. I'll try to get pictures when the schedule the work as I'll be there watching.

Did you find out what the issue was and the fix? I'm having a very similar issue. Truck is 3 weeks old, 600 miles, and every time it rains I get drops on my brake pedal and after inspecting under the dash it appears that water is coming from the seam at the very top, about where the lower windshield is. Dealer states they can't replicate the leak with has got me so frustrated. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I have unfortunately become quickly familiar with these trucks' water leak problems in light of my huge issue. What you just described sounds like a gutter tube came loose or is clogged. I would definitely take it to the dealer, but if you want to check yourself you can pull the rubber door seals (on the cab portion) and find the gutter drains.
Mine is in the shop for the 3rd time due to a leak no one can find. Mine comes from under the dash. Truck has 800 miles on it...looking into ford buy back program/lemon law now...to my disappointment.
