Can't hide money!!
I found the leak. Vaper seal just like yours!
So I had my truck all dried out, and got just over an inch of rain overnight. Grabbed my readers and a flashlight this morning, and traced what appears to be my main leak to the driver side vent at the rear of the cab, as some others have found. I also appear to have a small leak at a rear door panel, again as some of you have discovered. Thanks to everyone who has shared their discoveries, as it has been super helpful in pinpointing the problem. The timing of these discoveries is perfect, as I’m scheduled to drop my truck off at the dealer tomorrow morning for this very reason. Now I can point out the leaks and not have to count on their investigation. 
taking mine in to the dealer tomorrow. All parts to fix the leaks finally came in.
Got my 2020 and couple weeks after taking possession in rainy Oregon I experienced the same thing. Turns out they forgot to place some rubber plugs during the factory build somewhere in the vicinity of the firewall. I had them replace the carpet as I didn't want the musty wet smell.
The dealer supposedly fixed the water leaks coming from the inside of the door panels. We have rain again this weekend and the f@!kin doors are still leaking!!!!!!
Shocker. That’s why I just do them myself
I'm gonna have to get dirty
Do you think the service tech bothered to hose down the doors after the repair to make sure the problem was solved? Hell no, the work order said "replace door seal". They ain't gonna spend and extra 5 minutes to make sure it's right. It's tough to find good service these days. Honestly I don't think the dealerships care either.
I did notice water spots all over my windows when I picked it up. I asked them if they let the water run on it for a while because the leaks don't appear with a bit of water. I said, they must soak that shit for a while. Of course, the service advisor said yes.Do you think the service tech bothered to hose down the doors after the repair to make sure the problem was solved?

You’re exactly right. They don’t bother. On my 2017, the dealer “fixed” them a few times before I just did it myself.Do you think the service tech bothered to hose down the doors after the repair to make sure the problem was solved?

Then on my 22, I didn’t even bother with the dealer. I just did it
They have a black Tremor Lariat sitting out on their lot, and I wonder if that's taking in water also 
Still waiting on my backordered KR carpet. Going on 9 weeks now.
Folsom Ford insisted on doing their own water test even after I showed them where it was leaking. They replaced the rear cab vents and fixed the door seals. They’re replacing my floor mat pad next week. I’ve got to give them a shout out 
We've been having a ton of rain this spring AND I just sucked 1/2gal of water out of my rear door sill. It was parked nose down in my driveway last night and after a trip to the store parked nose up there was TOO much water dripping from the driver rear door corner. I have vinyl floor and to date I've never noticed anything but after pulling up the floor trim I can feel the padding under the driverside front is soaked.
Sucked another cup or so of water out that is weeping out of the soaked padding (no new rain). I lifted the flooring best I could without removing all the trim and seats and wedged some stuff under it to help airflow some but realistically the seats and trim need to be removed and vinyl all lifted to allow it to dry well being its the vinyl floor so its not going to dry from the topside like carpet would. Earliest dealer appointment is Monday morning. I'll debate how much I'm going to do being I have a job and life to deal with versus disassembling the interior of my truck for a factory defect.
I showed the dealer, and they also insisted on doing their own water test. Mine was the vapor seal inside the door panels. The bead of black adhesive was not pressed on and it was just clinging on from some small areas. They fixed and after all the rain in CA I have zero leaks.Folsom Ford insisted on doing their own water test even after I showed them where it was leaking.

My truck has been tight since the repairs too. And they did replace the whole floor mat & pad, but my truck still has a little odor . Probably would have been better to air it out a couple days with everything removed. But I needed it done, and to their credit, they delivered.
My truck has been at the dealer since Monday 7am. Tue they said they think the lower driver corner of the windshield is leaking, today they called to say they've documented and submitted to Ford for review and approval. It'll be next week before its done. I don't have an immediate need for it otherwise it would be frustrating.
