What owners wrote

The water leak is coming in from the windshield wiper motor assembly. I have talked with other 1997 lincoln towncar owners and they all have the same problem. The water enters the car under the windshield wiper motor and runs down the firewall underneth the carpet and forms a pool of water underneth the carpet in the rear passenger compartment. The dealer tries to sell you an undercoating and does not guaratnee this will fix the problem

Dt*: the contact stated while driving the vehicle started smoking under the dash, the windows fogged up, and coolant was leaking from the manifolds. The contact took the vehicle to a dealership to have it inspected. They discovered the heater core needed to be replaced. Ak
