Warranty on a Fiesta for water ingress?
My Fiesta has a hole in seam of the bulk head. The car is 20 months old and water is gathering in the drivers foot well. Garage insists it's wear and tear. Why will they only honour water ingress into car for twelve months?

The Ford manufacturer warranty is only for 12 months. After that it's optional (at no cost) 24 months dealer warranty.
