Replying to: ralka (Nov 02, 2008 6:16 pm) I didn't lift the rug as yet.I put some baking soda and a towel on it a few days ago when it was soaked.It's still a little wet.I'll pull that rubber flap off so it's all open there.Is there a way to open that black grated piece??Does that thing inside it need replacing?Thanks for all the info!

Replying to: 99towncarexec (Nov 02, 2008 6:24 pm) the piece in the the heater case is a blend door ( if we are talking about the same thing), it diverts the air from the heater case to the defrosters or to the floor or panel vents. if you start the car and change the air flow setting see if that moves, than you will know if it is what i think you are seeing.  good luck Replies to this message: 99towncarexec (Nov 06, 2008 3:18 pm)

Replying to: ralka (Nov 06, 2008 3:09 pm) I think I was asking about the filter type thing behind the glove box.Kind of big,encased by the black grated box.It was wet.It does seem to move so as to let air in.Anyway,it's raining out now.1st time since I put the silicone sealer stuff around.I'll let you know if the fix was enough.
#34 of 207 Back floor is wet now too. by 99towncarexec Nov 07, 2008 (2:32 pm)
Hey bro.I was just vacuuming the Lincoln and I noticed the floor in the back,driver side and front driver side is wet too.Where's that coming from???Front passenger side seems nice and dry now though.It rained for a while yesterday.I guess the fix worked on that side, so far,anyway.Any idea what's up with the back??

Replying to: ralka (Nov 10, 2008 6:03 pm) ok.I think that it may be weatherstripping too.It looks good but who knows.

I think I'm going to replace the door weatherstripping on mine.I'll put a bunch of silicone/adhesive on the new stripping and hopefully that stops it.I have to much stuff going on to worry about the damn floors in my Lincoln rotting out!I'll just trade it for another one.

Replying to: 99towncarexec (Nov 12, 2008 2:30 pm) I cleaned out the area in front of the cowl-there were a few leaves and some debris but not too much. Replies to this message: robkstone (Nov 12, 2008 5:52 pm)

Replying to: robkstone (Nov 12, 2008 5:38 pm) I'd like to remove the seats and replace the molded carpet after I fix the leak.If the car has been exposed to moisture is there a way to prevent the floors from rotting out once I have the carpet out- has anyone done this?
