#168 of 207 Re: LEAK LEAK AND MORE LEAK PLEASE HELP... [lincolnowner] by dclimocar Jan 19, 2009 (1:09 pm)
Replying to: lincolnowner (Sep 16, 2008 4:16 pm) open the hood, remove the whipers, remove the plastic grill covering the whipers assambly, now on the passenger side you will see an air intake for the ac, remove that inspect the seal, with time it cracks and when it rains leaks water down the dashboard and the carpet gets wet but the floor mat wont. If not corrected this will create corrosion and a hole on the floor, well you wont beleive it when you see it.   No need to pay $200 to the dealer, I fixed mine and cost $5.00 silicone sealer or you can use a rubber gasket.   After you done with the repair is a good idea the lift the carpet out of place and let dry, just a vacum wont do it, it will remain wet for long time and you wont be able to know if the leak is gone. After is dry have someone wet the car with the garden hose while you visualy inspect under the dashboard to make sure water is not comming in. Sounds hard but is not. I did it, takes about an hour plus the drying time. HAVE FUN! Replies to this message: robkstone (Jan 19, 2009 2:21 pm)

Replying to: dclimocar (Jan 19, 2009 1:09 pm) I had the same problem on my 99 Towncar Signature Touring Edition- and I did the same repair myself- I also used silicone but a rubber based sealer would have been a little less permanent if I had to do it over- I think the rubber gasket is probably the culprit as it dries out and shrinks over time although another person on this site has said he has seen the same problem with newer cars. Also I experienced the wet carpets in the front and rear passenger side and they did take a long time to dry as I never had the opportunity to remove them totally. It's a poor design but you'll never get Ford to admit it!

I had to have my carpets out for about a week or so to get them dry.I lifted them in the corners first but that didn't help.It was easier finding the other leak by the hood release cable with the carpet out though.Now,it's snowing every other friggin day around here so the carpet is wet again!!lol. Not as bad as before though. Replies to this message: ralka (Jan 19, 2009 7:00 pm) 99towncarexec (Jan 19, 2009 7:20 pm) ralka (Jan 19, 2009 7:24 pm)

#175 of 207 Re: Leaking Trunk Lid [silverton] by dfilardo Jun 17, 2009 (7:35 am)
Replying to: silverton (Jul 21, 2007 4:58 pm) Hi, I have the exact same problem. I started troubleshooting by duck taping over the key hole thinking the seal around the key hole might be leaking. That didn't fix it. Next I duck taped over the two holes at the leading edge of the trunk lid just under the back window. It hasn't rained so I don't know the results yet.

#176 of 207 trunk leak by 99towncarexec Jun 17, 2009 (7:42 am)
I think the water running down off the back window might have something to do with it.It's been a while though.On another note if you know anybody looking for brand new and unused door seals I have 2.
