Ford F-150 2018 super crew cab 1st water leak inside of our truck cab created a mildew smell due to wet carpet padding and carpets. Water saturated electrical wiring under the door seal protectors on the right-side of the front and rear doors. First noticed a problem driving and applying the brakes we heard a water sloshing sound on the right side of the truck. Indications of water in cab and saturated carpet's and wiring went unnoticed due to weather tech full floor mats. We contacted Ford corporation online and they advised for us to take it into our dealership to be assessed. Our dealership made an appointment a week out, so our truck sat in our garage for an additional week. We used a shop vac and sucked out as much water as we could and left the door windows down to help dry out the interior. The dealership removed and reinstalled the trim panels with silicone sealant on both doors on the right side.
