I updated my post with a couple of new pictures. (3) Water Leak When It Rains | Page 2 | Explorer ST Forum

It could be this: The issue is a BLOCKED drain relief bladder behind the wheel well splash shield. If it is blocked you will have rain water in the floorboard INTERIOR of the vehicle. This is a DESIGN issue that will require regular maintenance cleaning. Plant debris lands on the front window...

This is a DESIGN issue that will require regular maintenance cleaning. The issue is a BLOCKED drain relief bladder behind the wheel well splash shield. Plant debris lands on the front window cowl and makes its way BEHIND the splash shield and clogs everything up. This probably applies to all of...

There are no front window cowl grates to keep leaves and debris out of this location. The potential for soaked floors in the vehicle is very high if the black rubber drains are not cleaned regularly and you park under trees. If you have wet floors in your Explorer, and you have ALREADY...

Had a similar problem with my '22 ST. I think I have tracked it down to the rubber relief bladder mounted behind the driver side wheel well lining, on the engine side of the firewall, below the engine bay fuse box. On the liner, removed a pop pin, a small retaining screw, a nut-washer in order...
