I have a 2004 '54' Ford mondeo tdci 5 door hatchback. water is getting into the vehicle somewhere and collecting in the rear footwell behind drivers seat . both front footwell carpets are dry as is rear passenger side . have checked door seals - appear to be ok and sitting correctly . have checked around rear light clusters and thest appear ok and boot is dry
tried the door trick, but it looks like mine is leaking from the front under the steering wheel area., or is it possible for the water to move that far up under braking etc? I have done the door and checked the rear wash wipe pipe. any more advice please!!!!

Had the same problem on my 2002 Mondeo.
It was caused by the rear screen washer.
If you remove the interior c-pillar above the rear seat
you should notice that the washer hose has an inline connection, that connection worked loose on mine so just pushed it securely together again. I also noticed a stain on the interior c-pillar. Also lift your rear seat up and see if it's damp there.
Give that a go!
