Impressive & scary!  Should probably check mine, especially after last winter!

You guys here were more helpful than a senior tech at Ford,each door has two drain holes like many members here stated earlier and the rear drivers side door was clogged and about a gallon of water started shooting out after cleaning up the holes under the moulding at each corner of each door,hopefully this helps someone.

+1 on the door drains being clogged. Drained what seemed like a few gallons out of one at work!

I am glad that is what the issue was. I had mine clog on me last winter with anti skid and have been cleaning them ever since with every wash.

I just noticed puddles under my doors exactly like you explained today.  I park in my driveway (only one car garage and the Mustang gets it) and I have a tree that drops a bunch of those helicopters on the car.  The drains must have gotten clocked from these.

Tomorrow I'll have to take a look, but I'm sure this is whats causing the problem.

If you need to "snake" the sunroof drains try using a piece of grass trimmer/weed wacker line.

Had this happen too, i just lifted the weather stripping up on the rear door and about a gallon came shooting out! Glad to see that was supposed to happen anyways. Where are the holes up top by the sun roof?

There is one drain hole at the very far corner of the sunroof.  Z

Awesome, thanks guys. So what are the holes at the bottom of the doors under the weather stripping?

I believe those are to allow water that gets in through the window channels or anywhere else around the door to drain out the bottom of the doors.  Since we don't have proper "rain gutters" on cars anymore.

There was actually a TSB on the Flex for adjusting the elbows on the drains:

As being the OP Glad this thread was somewhat beneficial to many of our esteem members here,also there is one drain hole on each corner of every door and also make sure that the tracks on the sunroof are properly greased,pics below.  Z

Just pulled the weather stripping on the back doors and seems like half a gallon of water came gushing from each side.  I'll have to check the sun roof drains this weekend.

Appreciate the info on here!!
