Noticed 4 inches of water in my rear passenger footwell this morning. After getting it all out, the floor felt like a water bed. Had to peel back the flooring to find rust soup. Another 2 inches of rusty ass water.

2007 crown Victoria p71

Any ideas?

I'd recommend checking the roof/etc for any custom mounting holes that may have been incorrectly sealed or have been compromised. It's possible that when it was decomissioned there were holes that got plugged (lightbar, antennas, etc) and have not held up. I'd also check the weatherstripping on top the door frame to make sure it's sealing okay.
