The manual is clear about not taking the Bronco through an automatic car wash. Driving through areas impacted by hurricane Henri clearly falls in this category.

You should keep the pic handy. Also take a pic of the speedometer too. Take it into the dealer as soon as possible. If they understand how to do their job correctly (some have no clue) they are supposed to open a ticket on it, Take several pictures of the issue, Take a pic of your speedometer too. They then report it to Ford. It can take a week or so for a response to come back. Ford will instruct them in their next steps to correct the issue. They should call you with the options Ford lays out for them. Yes, sometimes there is more than 1. I would assume this would be treated the same as a moonroof leak. Also make note of anything inside the vehicle that's damaged by the water. Hope this helps.Welp……. I guess it was bound to happen, and given the replacement program I guess I’m not too concerned.
A few days after taking delivery I THOUGHT I felt a drip on my left knee driving down the highway, but it was late, dark and not the place to try to figure it out.
Today, hopped in and hit the road during steady, sometimes heavy rain(affects of hurricane Henri). As soon as I was out of the driveway water started dripping from the seam on the trim over the top of the drivers door, towards the front, but not into the A-pillar(who knows if it’s puddling anywhere internally).
Both times I had been parked on a steep incline(girlfriends driveway is STEEP)-front of the truck higher than the rear. The dripping didn’t started until I was headed down hill, as all the water would have shifted to the front of the car from the rear.
My question is whether I need to worry about any damage to the airbags or if there are any other electrical lines up there
most had come out by now but here’s a picture
Hi All, I would like to add to this thread. I have a leak as well. This happened after about 3-4 hours moderate off and on rain. I'm not sure where it is entering, however it appears to be exiting from the airbag location. I will try to get to the dealer soon and see what they say.
Welcome to the club. I warned @Ford Motor Company about this and they would not listen to me. They assumed they knew the problem. Would not let me show them at the dealership and attempted to try all kinds of things that would have never worked. They ultimately wanted to replace a part with an identical part. They failed to get the part shipped in time. The part would not have improved anything and would have damaged my vehicle more.Hi All, I would like to add to this thread. I have a leak as well.

This is a design flaw. Ford did not plan for enough water in the gasket above the windshield. I have been saying this for 2 months. This will eventually happen on ALL Broncos!

Agree, hopefully enough people speak up and @Ford Motor Company addresses it.

Sheesh...this is getting bad. I don’t love how Ford treats us like idiots and says that their replacement program is only due to cosmetic issues. I really hope they’re lying though and are on a solution to this.
There aren’t many MIC tops out there. A very small sliver of those post on this board, and we’ve seen multiple people with MIC leaks.

UPDATE: After sitting through the rain(no wind) of Hurricane Henri in Northern New Jersey……. The passenger side leaked too. While parked on level ground. Not much, but same location as the drivers side. We’ll see how much pours out when I move it tomorrow.

Good thing I ordered a Badlands with MGV and wash out floors. The curtain air bags are a concern though. 
@Ford Motor Company please fix this now!

And some people thought I was joking...
I went to the DFW Bronco ride along yesterday at the Duck Expo, I was surprised that Webasto has a display as well.

OP reports first water leak and we're already talking disaster.
Moving to Arizona will help. It only rains about 5 x a year.

It sounds like a joke - but make a Twitter and tag mike Levine in a tweet about this. The more data and coverage the quicker things get fixed.
