Congratulations! That's really the only way to dry out those carpets-by removing them- I still have a few damp spots and it's been weeks. One thing I can say is I've learned a lot about these cars in the few months I've owned mine- I would definitely buy another one- they're cheap enough now to buy another used one every few years-
 
 Hey let me ask you another question- does your car make a sound every once in awhile for the air suspension? I understand it's normal but it's a little annoying.

Yes,it does.I've had lots of Lincolns over the years and that noise was in all of them,this one included.It's normal.The air suspension is settling,raising or something.Merry Christmas man!!

Yeah same to you- we've earned it!- Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and for my New Year's wish, I wish my Town Car never leaks again and that someday Ford will make a Town Car with independent rear suspension and use real wood in the interior, have wool carpets, wool headliner and a factory limo with a division window, and then I'll buy one ten years later for $4,000!

Hey Ralka ( or ROBKSTONE),quick question for you.Do you hear any type of creaking noise When you make a left hard turn??I had a bad noise and put new outter tie rods on.Now I still hear it sometimes on hard lefts.Thanks.TAURUS,no sunroof leaks here, every once in a while when my sunroof is closing it will act like it hits something and open again.It closes automatically when I turn off and get out of the car.When I use the button,it's normal.

Had the same problem with our 98 TC. after replacing wiper motor. My indepndent missed getting the little foam seal back in place. I removed the gaurd and reglued the seal with some sicone sealant, put it back together, ran it through car wash (with a plastic bag on the floor for safe measure) bingo no leak. And all is well after many more car washes. Appreciate all forums for money saving info..
 
Oh yes, did put a small fan on the center hump for a few hours to dry it out after repair. (about 4 hrs.).

Just reading your post about snow tires.
Do you, sure you do, have trac control? Best do some checking as to sizing that it does not through off your trac contol/abs in the computer and shut down the engine.
 
Had a proplem with 75R fronts against 70R rear mistake by the tire guy and it shut our 98 TC down. I imagine it would have a bearing if the tires were reversed, front to rear.
Snow tires have the agressive tread. Took a dealer 5 hours to get it diagnosed via factory representive. At hour 4.5 the rep. asked if any tires we of larger or smaller size. BINGO Tire guy had a large bill to pay pluse two more new tires for compensation and shop time at dealer..
