The most annoying thing about this issue is Ford is aware of this issue and has not fixed it. There was a recall on the 2002 Ford Focus for the same issue.
During and after it rained, water would pour onto the passenger floorboard when the car was driven. To eliminate the issue, I had to clean out the drain holes at the bottom of the firewall and replace the cabin air filter because it got soaked. When I found the drains holes, one on each side of the bottom of the firewall, they were completely blocked with tree debris and dirt. I accesed the drain through the engine compartment and used my finger to dig the debris out until water freely drained from the holes. I then replaced the cabin air filter because it got soaked from the standing water in the firewall. I would also recommend cleaning these drains on a regualr basis to prevent the issue from reoccuring.
