Time to bring this up again. Was supposed to be "repaired" in November. Walked out opened the truck door this morning (rained about an inch overnight which is not unusual for here and has done so a few times over the last few month). A pool of water in the bottom with the seat and the headliner soaked. Its sitting in the garage now plugged in with max heat running to dry out. When I saw the repair the last time, which amounted to realign roof panels and glue (with the truck returned to me within three hours) I should have known. I have some slight empathy for a manufacturing error (and not a lot for this common an item) but I have absolutely zero empathy for shotty repairs.
Tried to schedule an appointment at the dealer that I brought it to last time, and bought the vehicle from, and they have no availability in the next few weeks to even bring it on and talk to a service advisor. In Atlanta so there are other options and found a dealer that at least from their online portal let me set up an appointment for this coming week (closed today, will call in the morning).
@HJP did you ever get your leak resolved?

not really. It got repaired again. Then the HV battery died and it was in the shop for 5 weeks. Combined with my worry about electrical damage from a repeatedly soaked dash I did not want to chance it anymore and did a Ford buyback.

Thanks for responding! I have extensive mold growing all over my entire carpet, just dropped off my truck today so I'm trying to get as much info as I can. Was the buyback process pretty straight forward? Was it something Ford initiated or did you? Here in Oregon there's a pretty clear cut lemon law that kicks in at a cumulative 30 days in the shop within 2 years of purchase.
