Replying to: KarenS (Jan 18, 2007 7:44 am) Your dealer will know what to do as they have had plenty of Crown vics, Merc Marquis and Lincoln Town Cars that leaked1 Water runs through the bad seal, then down under the front carpet and then to the back carpet. The first time I noticed it the front didn't seem as wet as the back, but found out it depends on which way the car is sitting as the next time it leaked in both front and back A LOT! Bill E |

Hi! I'll bet it is that bad gasket and if your car sat outside more you would find that the carpet would be soaking wet after a big rain. Water runs through the bad seal, then down under the front carpet and then to the back carpet. The first time I noticed it the front didn't seem as wet as the back, but found out it depends on which way the car is sitting as the next time it leaked in both front and back A LOT! Your Ford dealer has probably had dozens of these, so they will know of the fix. Bill Eaton

Hi! Most of these develop your type leak. Usually it's on the passenger side, but some leak on the drivers side! See my previous posts: the dealer has had dozens of these so he will know what to do. My 2001 Town car did this and the dealer said 'that's a common problem'. Cost fixing it was a little less than $200. That was in January and it hasn't leaked since. Bill Eaton

Replying to: beaton38 (Jul 13, 2007 5:05 am) Our Merc Marq leaks on the drivers side. It has been to two different dealers and so far it has been a BIG waste of money at both places and we still have the leak. We are in Winston Salem, NC. Our windshield was replaced, rubber in side windows have been replaced, Seals have been replaced, black plastic tray around windshield wipers have been cleaned out. Love the car but ready to throw up hands. Did you get yours fixed and what was the problem????? Thank you.

Hi! If you can figure out how to get to the past posts there were several who had the same problem with Merc, Linclon TC and Ford Crown vics. Basicly....there is a gasket that is behind that plastic tray under the windshield wipers. That gasket goes bad and when it pours rain.... it leakes. It may leak more one time than another as it depends on how the car is sitting. Dealer replaced that gasket with silicone seal and it has not leaked yet. Dealer says it's a common problem. Cost was about $190 which included the dealer keeping the car for three days and drying out the carpets. Bill E
