I'm not sure what category this should fall under, but in my 2011 focus, when it rains there seems to be A lot of condensation built up in the glove box. Does anyone else have this problem? My gps got all wet! Thanks for any help!
 
You might have a leak at the windshield. perhaps not sealed properly.


good news is that you have warranty. best thing to do is get it corrected and not ask people on here, because we will guess and all come up with different answers.

call and schedule an appointment with your Ford dealership.
 
pollen filter leak. it will cause the rear of the dash to be soaked if not sealed properly
 
As far as helping with the mess that's already been created, you can use a small tupperware container (without the lid) and fill it with either uncooked rice, or sawdust to help remove condensation out of the glovebox so you don't get mold in there. The best thing would be to throw a bunch of those silicone packets you get when you buy shoes or electronics into the glovebox, but if you don't have those, the rice or sawdust will help too.

IIRC this was the individual who had a 'sloshing' that they thought was from the heater core. I'd said that I didn't think you could hear or that it was possible for the heater core to slosh. I'd bet this water problem is related to the sloshing noise.

It's under warranty, bring it back in and have Ford look it over.
Almost sounds like a drain under the wiper cowl is plugged and the water that gets in there can't drain fast enough.
 
I wouldn't consider it possible for the heater core to slosh, but gurgling is completely plausible. Anyway if there is a sloshing then there is water trapped somewhere. Best bet is to take it to the dealer if you have a warranty. There may be a TSB out for this sort of thing.
