Problem overview

Some Lincoln Continental owners report experiencing water leaks on the passenger side floorboard during heavy rains, which may be linked to issues with the windshield gasket. These leaks can occur due to a gap between the glass and the gasket, allowing water to enter the vehicle. Additionally, owners have noted that bad rubber seals on doors and windows, sunroof leaks, or problems with the A/C evaporator or heater core can also contribute to wet floors. It is suggested that inspecting and replacing the bottom gasket of the front glass and the rubber gasket around the window can help identify and resolve the source of the leak. Furthermore, issues with the rubber gasket on the passenger side cowling may require repair or replacement to prevent further water ingress. Owners are also advised to consider other potential leak sources, such as weather stripping or the air supply intake for the A/C system. If a windshield gasket issue is suspected, inspecting the gaskets for damage or deterioration is recommended to stop water from seeping into the vehicle. Addressing these concerns is crucial for preventing water accumulation on the passenger side floorboard.
