| I have a 2003, lincoln towncar and when it rains, the passenger side floor board gets soaking wet, i can have it under the car port and it still gets wet. i do not have any holes in the car. i had the same problem with my 1999 lincoln towncar and they changed by wind sheild four or five times and it did not solve the problem in the 1999 the passenger side floor board would wetter than the back, with the 2003 the back floor board is wetter than the front, i almost think it is coming from something under the seat. *tr | |||

| SEATS - FRONT ASSEMBLY - HEAD RESTRAINT | |||
| 4000 | 1 | 10/07/2002 | |
| Head restraint cushion was positioned at an angle with the top extending further forward than the bottom which resulted in it contacting the consumer at the top edge of the rear of his head. in the event of a sudden stop, the backward motion of consumers body would force consumers head backward and down. this could cause great stress to the neck. head restraints were properly engineered in the lincoln, town car 2001, but not in lincoln, town car, 2003. refer to odi#8022294 scc *jb. *ak | |||

| The head restraints in this vehicle are not adjustable therefore the consumer feels that they may not provide adequate protection to short passengers in the event of a crash. *mr *nlm *scc | |||
