Well I haven't seen anyone else post yet but with all the crazy rain we had in Houston and the garage being taken up by a friends car over the weekend we got to find out the MKC leaks.
Wife and I go out to the store in the evening and I say your car smells damp did you drive through standing water this morning? Her reply is no, I feel of the carpet and it's damp and think yeah right, u didn't and yet the carpet is damp. Get home and pull the seat to toss a couple box fans in and find a seam under the seat so pull it back to take a peak and find about 1.5" of water on the floor pan. Pull front carpet out and fold back rear carpet. Toss in a few fans and takes 48hours of non stop fan to get everything dry then put it back together. Take the car for a test drive and make a turn that's when water pours out the dash on the side that had previously been dry and onto my foot. Guess wife was right she didn't drive through water the car just leaks and leaks pretty **** bad.
Guess I'll be calling Lincoln to come get the car Monday and bring me a loaner while they figure out how to fix their problem. Now I have to decide how much bitching I want to do, I really want new foam padding under the carpet cause it took forever to dry but to change it they have to pull the dash and I really don't want them to do that because I will end up with annoying rattles or misaligned parts / broken tabs. Guess I will see what they have to say first....
