I HAVE A 98 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CHECK THE VACUUM HOSE THAT GOES FROM THE PVC VALVE TO THE REAR OF THE MANIFOLD THAT SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS HELPS

I will try my McGuires rubber protectant as a temp. fix. Armor All, on the other hand, is actually bad for vinyl and rubber. All about the shine and can deteriorate vinyl and rubber (My old Nissan dash cracked b/c of it).
 
The silicone spray they used was actually better than any rubber protectant like Armor All and others. It is actually a lubricant.
 
I will continue to hound them for a permanent fix when I have some time. Sometimes, as in my case, IDing the problem and getting them to admit/fix it is very difficult.

Well, good luck. My 03 did that the whole three years I had it. I just turned the Stereo up louder. With the A/C blowing in the summer, and the radio rockin', I barely heard it. I never did try to get them to fix it. I know from experience, they can't.

Am I making a mistake? BMW X5 to Navigator? by jwren

I ran out of space in my X5 and my lease is up on my X5 (BMW) I have two little ones with a double stroller and two car seats. So I need lots more space.. I just ordered a new Ultimate Nav 4x4 and now am hoping I didn't make a mistake. I guess I got a little spoiled on quality and now am hoping that Lincoln doesn't let me down. Please tell me I didn't make a mistake and that I will be happy with this car, as so far I love the test drive, but I know that doesn't always mean everything about the car. I am just hoping I didn't buy a lemon . What can I expect? thanks

A reporter is looking to talk with someone who bought a large suv or truck within the past year and is thinking about trading it in for a smaller vehicle. Please respond to jfallonedmunds.com with your daytime contact info and vehicle info by Monday, May 1, 2006.

I am one of those determined, polite, customers who will not take no for an answer. I will keep trying with the dealer. I usually do not drive with the radio on and so the noise is frustrating for such an expensive car. New cars under 15K do not have noisy door seals. Nad to pay almost four times that much and get lesser quality, that bites.
 
The rubber conditioner did not work as I predicted it wouldn't. Could it be a door alignment problem? The door is flush with body of car. Does the door bend and wobble that much when driving or is it just too tight and the slightest movement creates a squeeking noise with the weather stripping?
 
To isolate the weather stripping as the culprit, I think I will remove the stripping completely and see if that stops the squeeking. Hope the wind noise doesn't drown out the squeek.

Relax, your Navigator will be more reliable than your X-5 was, at least. I had 2 of them, a 99 and an 03, and I wish I had an 06 right now, but gas prices have finally hit the choke point for me, and I'm driving my sedan instead of a new Navigator for a while. I have a second SUV, two of them was a luxury for me, I guess.
 
Anyway, loved them both. Finest large SUV on the market in my opinion. Drive with confidence.

My 03 Navigator was generally very tight. I took that poor truck on the Racetrack Road in Death Valley, a 30 mile stretch of dirt that eats cars for breakfast, and has been known to bury everything but Jeeps from time to time. My poor Navigator was shaking so badly the whole ride, that I thought all 4 of the doors would come off. It looked like they were all flexing to the people in the back. When we got done, (that's 60 miles of this round trip), and got back to the pavement, the doors just seemed to settle back onto the body, and I had developed NOT ONE rattle. However, the driver's door still had the creak in it. I was hoping at least, the shake would take it out. It made it no worse, mind you.
 
It just sort of seems the body flexes just enough to creak that door to me. But the Racetrack Road showed me something about these trucks. Lincoln should use this as a proving ground, and then advertise it. If I could figure out how to do it, I'd post a couple of pics of the truck out there. It was a beautiful thing.

Navigator Electrical Problems!! Help!!! by mxglen
May 03, 2006 (2:40 pm)

I'm experiencing my first problem with my '99 Navi and I'm hoping someone can assist. I recently noticed my stereo cutting off intermittently and noticed it was volume dependent, seeming to shut off when turned higher. I also noticed during bass hits or peaks in volume the screen dimmed tremendously. So I'm figuring it's not the stereo but something dealing with the power going to it, since it's obviously cutting off because it doesnt have enough power.
 
Now. on the way back to work after lunch the radio kept shutting off again...i then noticed my clock, overhead mpg/compass display, and all other indicators are dimmed extremely low and my window wont even go up or down. When I turned it on for this trip back to work I noticed the car struggling tremendously to turn on, like the battery was dead. Also, sometimes my odometer doesnt even turn on for up to 20 minutes, so I think there's something electrical going on. My best guess is the alternator because the problems even occurred at 60+mph on the freeway when it should be powering these things. I don't know...any thoughts, please feel free to respond!!

You had the same results as an article I read in Car and Driver magazine. Glad you Navi held together. I bet if Lincoln used that as a testing ground, no doubt, the Navi will gain a lot of weight. Also, gain in material and workmanship quality. Ony if.... On the down side, increased weight for added structural rigidity and decrease in fuel economy.
 
Will keep looking into it the squeak.
