report leaks ASAP to your dealer. We purchased our 2011 Edge and a 2011 NEW Explorer and the Explorer wound up being lemon lawed. They could not fix or stop the leak and we lost out on the "fair mileage" because we had not reported it right away (appeared around 10k miles and we first reported at 19K. If you wind up in a lemon law situation they will charge you for every mile of usage up until they were notified and input the mileage at the first report of that problem (in our case 19k instead of 10K?.

Probably the antenna leaking. Easy enough to check.

 

Start by removing the overhead console. Using your fingers, pry the front (side facing the cabin interior) down. This will release the console and it will pop out. Disconnect the harness and set aside.

 

The base of the antenna is now exposed. Have someone spray water on the antenna and watch from inside the vehicle. 

 

If its leaking, try tightening the mounting screws from inside. Done.
