Ford Mustang water leaking through cabin air filter issue requiring drying and reinstalling parts on Ford Mustang

Problem overview

Some Ford Mustang owners report experiencing water leaks through the cabin air filter, often caused by clogged drains that allow water to back up into the cabin. These owners find that clearing the clogged drains is essential to prevent further water entry. Additionally, some have encountered standing water in the cowl channel, which can be removed by siphoning through a grommet hole to mitigate leakage. Inspection and cleaning of the windshield wipers and cowl panel are also recommended, as blockages in these areas can contribute to the problem. After addressing the root cause, proper reinstallation of components like the passenger cabin air filter is crucial to prevent future leaks.
