Water in the rockers
#1
Where/how would it get in there? For the first time ever I heard water swishing around from what sounded to be underneath the passenger floor.

Got home, lay down underneath the car and I got water coming out of some holes that were factory drilled into the underbody.

Driver side is COMPLETELY dry, passenger side is noticeably wet. Near those holes, if I stick my finger in them (this is starting to get dirty) and shake it around I can feel water, and enough of it that it drips down my hand.

It's rained a lot over the past 2 days but I haven't driven at all... so where should I start looking for why there is water in the rockers/underbody?
any info on underbody coating?

mine seems to have either a ton of buildup or some rubbery stuff. I jacked the back of my focus up in the air so that it's leaning forward and yep, water's coming out of the rockers especially the right side.

it's not a ton, but it's some.


i looked underneath and couldn't find the rocker drains. but i can't figure out what is coated on the bottom of my focus.
i found a spot that seemed to be where the water was coming from so I started picking away at the undercoating and ended up finding nothing underneath it.

all i found was these... parallelogram shaped holes that were filled in, about 1inch long and 1/4inch wide. There were a few of them but I didn't count em. Are those supposed to be the drains?
