| I have a 1999 lincoln town car. the windshield adhesive has failed apparently from having been parked outdoors for 25 days. the windshield has slipped down about one half inch and it is leaking. it is loose enough that it vibrates when the door is closed. i searched for a recall and although there was none for the lincoln windshield, i did see that the ford windstar mini van had a recall for using the incorrect urethane adhesive(campaign id number 00v020000). my lincoln towncar was built at ford's wixom plant where the windstar vans were built and near the same time. *jb | |||

| During every rain water runs down the inside of the firewall on the passenger's side, behind the glove box, soaks the front carpet, and stands as much as 1 1/2 deep in the rear floor. both carpets were very moldy. i have taken the car to dealers, body shops, and windshield glass experts, and nobody can fix it. if i run a small stream of water from the hose on the lower right corner of the windshield it will show up on the inside of the car within a minute. i have been trying to solve this problem for at least 3 years.*ak | |||
