Did some searching and found lots of posts about water in passenger footwell, but nothing like what I have. 2 nights ago, we had a lot of rain. I didn't notice anything yesterday morning, but this morning, all the windows in my car were steamed up inside! I looked around and found that the floor in both of the back seats was wet, and there was a small puddle on the drivers side in the back. I do have a sunroof, so I am expecting that to be the source of the problem, but I am wondering if anyone else has had this happen. Thanks for your help.

First that I have heard of that with water in the back footwells but you did mention that you have a sunroof maybe the drain tubes could be clogged or somehow became disconnected?

If your SVTF is still under warranty I would recommend bringing it in to have that repaired before mold begins to form,etc.
Others may post different things that might be causing that problem.Keep us posted when you can.

So, bringing this post back in hopes that an answer has been found and not mentioned. I went outside this morning after a rather decent amount of rain last night and there was water only in the footwell behind the drivers seat. no water from the front passenger side (not indicative of the cowl leak), no water from the sunroof (the sliding cover was closed and both that and the headliner are completely dry) I can't find any place that it looks like water could get in. I'm going to wait to crawl under it until I can get it in a garage or somewhere equally dry.
any ideas?
My old focus used to play in puddles all the time with no problems. I think every time an SVT and I get near rain we have issues.

This thread sounds like it has an answer: http://forums.focaljet.com/problems-service-recalls/433210-water-noise-behind-dash-i-know-what.html
Basically it's saying that water gets in the ventilation tubes that run under the center console, which exit under the rear of the front seats.

No problem... but I think you need to look at the air intake on the cowl, not the center console itself.
