2005 lincoln ls sport. When it rains it leaks Water in on headliner inside drivers side windows. And I get mold. Also the pocket on passenger door fills up with water. Amy suggestions.
 
The moon roof has 4 drain tubes. The rear 2 run under the headliner and through the c pillars and trunk. The front ones run behind the a pillars. They sometimes shrink with age or clog.

I had the same issue but my trunk was filling with water as it was the rear ones...

I didn't want to bother installing a new tube, so I adjusted the moon roof (4 bolts behind long plastic pull out sight shield that pulls out from the front side of the moon roof revealing 2 screws on each side.) loosen all 4 bolts, press the moon roof up as far as it will go and tighten the bolts while maintaining pressure.
 
Yes a common problem but easy to solve. The Moonroof has a drain pan with drains at the 4 corners. Over time the rubber drain hoses shrink a bit and then pull off the steel nipple. I stretched mine back into place and installed a hose clamp and never had a leak again. Others have had to add a bit of hose to bridge the gap.

Usually removing the visors allows enough room to bend down the headliner a bit to see the problem.

Adeel B. you need to start your own thread. This is a different subject.

Thank you. Much appreciated
 
If you have a moon roof.It has 2 drain hoses.Mine leaked on the driver side like your's, a common problem on these.Mine is a 2004.On the headliner.You will need to remove the over head there.The drain hose on the moon roof has came loose and when it rains it goes down the side where the drain hose is.It is like that they made that hose to short and it comes loose.What I did was, pulled the hose and put a little clamp to hold it on the barb It was a bitch to do but I fixed it.The hose travels by the front driver tire.You will have to take the sun visor off too.I did find a site online that showed how to fix.Where the door shuts.That over head is where the hose travels.
