Question Windstar Owners - Need feedback/help

I'm wondering if anyone has a Windstar that may or may not have experianced a wet carpet. My 1998 Windstar rear wiper fluid tube body grommet has a tall (1-2") body grommet above the rear hatch opening that from what I've seen on every Windstar gets pushed down when you open the hatch (terrible design). As a result my grommet doesn't stay seated & I'm 90% sure it's the cause of a leak everytime it rains.

I can't believe this isn't a recall or that I can find anyone talking about it on the net. Ford wants $200 plus dollars to replace this part.

Thanks in advance for any help or info.
Jon

I just traded in my '98 in January when I got my SD. Never had a leak (except from the tranny).
