Can't find much on this issue- the wife's 2006 Expedition is leaking water somewhere but I'm not sure where. The water is most prevalent in the 2nd row on the driver's side, the floor where you'd step in is very wet and if you flip up the seat to access the 3rd row there is standing water in the recessed brackets the seat latches to. Some moisture on the passenger side as well but not nearly as bad. Has anyone experienced this before?

Check for rust on the underside of the body, make sure all weatherstrip is intact.

That's because you have no idea where the drain line for the sun roof is located

I have the exact same issue with the water. I found that it was coming in the same side from the rear side vent windows. I had to take the inside trim off and tighten the small nuts that hold the window framing against the body of the vehicle.

2006 Expy Fixed the same way WestCoastExpy did. Except , I loosened the frame put some silicone around the front half of the frame where I could see it leaking, then I tightened the bolts. Fixed it - it's been a year now and completely dry.

Yes, it does have a sunroof. I'm guessing I get to remove and re-seal the darn thing?

Don't park it in the river?

Care to share that info with me?

I have the exact same issue with the water. I found that it was coming in the same side from the rear side vent windows. I had to take the inside trim off and tighten the small nuts that hold the window framing against the body of the vehicle.

Good to know, I will look into that.

What kind of a stupid response is this? It's rained here nearly every day for the past 2 months wise guy.

Hi, I have a 2007 eddie bauer with the same problem. I have a sunroof.

The water comes from the rear top vent, were the top dvd console is.

It drops on the rear driver side seat and all over the carpet (from the spalshing).

I know that there are two drain tubes in the front of the sunroof, but those are free. I have to add that our driveway is on a slight slope and the front of the car is higher than the back. So the slope supports that the water is going towards the rear of the car. I still think this should not happen?

Any ideas?

When you say trim, do you mean the door panel?

Do you have a picture of the part you tightened?
