I'm a Lincoln fan. Have 3 right now. But I gotta say that I have an mkZ and wish I didn't. The leaks into the trunk in this thing are horrible and not easy to fix. Look on utube for 'mkZ trunk leaking' for a view of what folks with this car face. I'm going to try to fix mine but I dunno...

My issue is definitely due to WATER leaking into the trunk from several different places. It's horrible and to try to fix ... well. Saw 2 youtube videos addressing the issue. One guy pulled the rear bumper off to try to fix one of the leaks. But the water also comes in from the panel on top...

Thanks Sultan. I've been unable to do anymore work on it due to weather and me.

Hey all. So my 2001 manual LS is due to be back on the road. So I got in and drivers window would not go down. Oh man not again. So I ordered another window mech from rock auto and yesterday put it in. And drivers window still wont go down. So I gotta run check on wiring etc. Hope it's...

Was driving my Nav couple months ago. Pulled into parking space in front of my destination. But wait - car still moving! Jumped the curb! Hit the corner of the building! Not very hard but unknown to me this used Nav I bought 6 years ago had seen a harder hit in same spot before I bought it...

The part that says LS on it. Passenger side rear of fender the extension of the side anti-ding strip for loss of words. My car is a 2001 LS V6 in Autumn Red. Anyone have this little part please contact. TIA.

Sorry to see you go, MHM. Best to ya.

I may have solved this. At least it has not happened for a couple of months. The weather changed. It was raining almost every day. Sometimes hard. Sometimes long. During a break I looked in the trunk of the Z. Not only was it wet but there was a large infestation of MOLD on the trunk floor...

OK Rock Auto sent replacement. I installed and window goes up and down again. So I took it on the long ride. No problems.

Some more mpg info. Cleaned the MAF sensor. Ran two tanks of Chevron Supreme instead of el cheapo regular. Took her on a 200+ mile round trip on highway. Got 21 mpg. That's about as good as she's ever gotten. Going to keep an eye of her mpg.

Dunno. Next time I'm under there I'll look.

The thing is covered by warrantee! Gonna get a replacement. In meantime gonna see if I can get the motor onto the existing piece.

OK it's the window motor. Tried another and works. Happen to have a motor I pulled off another window mech.

Tried DDM from a donor. Nope. But with panel off I can hear a relay behind sheet metal piece. So off with that.

Well I've got two donor cars. Tried the switch assembly from one and it has the same problem. Pulling door panel off today.
