the same thing is going on with my 2000 lincoln town car. Did you find out what it was? If you did can you let me know what it is.

yes..as a matter of fact i did find the problem..heres what it was..mine as well as your door weather stripping looks new. the rear doors have 2 weather strips. 1 outer and 1 inner. it was the outer weather stripping. on the rear side of the door. the rear side of that weather stipping has 3 plastic peices that hold it to the body frame. the water was running down the weather stripping and going into where those plastic peices are..heres your fix..pull the weather stripping away from the door frame. you'll see the holes where those plastic peices go into..also pull some of the stripping off that goes up around the rear corner. run a nice bead of weather stripping glue where the top section goes over the frame and keep running the bead down till you get below those holes. make the bead around those holes as well as putting some on those plastic peices before pushing them back into those holes. then push the weather stripping back into place..shut the door and after it drys..you should have no more leak....the water was running into those holes..then down inside the door frame and coming out rigfht at the corner of the rear seat..giving it a nice place to go..the rear floorboard..

Dripping Noise in the Dash

When I start my 2006 Lincoln TC you can hear what sounds like water dripping under the dash. The carpet remains dry. The dealer doesn't seem to have an answer to this problem. It is very annoying. Does anyone else have this problem, or can answer what the noise is?

As I don't think you are hearing a liquid drip, try turning off the air shocks by tripping the switch located in the trunk area. After turning the air shock switch "OFF" then start the engine and listen. Your owners manual will reveal where the switch is. It is always turned off when the car is being elevated.

2005 water leak

Okay I'm new at this posting and I probably posted wrong the first try. Here goes again. I have a 2005 TC with a water leak on the pax side, had water in the front and rear. Believe the water is coming from the front. Read some of the posts on how to fix it and was wondering if this is the same water leak as in the earlier models. Dealer claims they fixed it through a sub-contractor (guess they don't like doing warranty work themselves). Still leaking.

Hey! twein1,
Your fix seems (to me) that this must be the problem.
I have 3 Town Cars (airport service) and each one has
wet floors on passenger side only. I'm going to try your method.
I'll let you know.
