Help. Why is my 2006 T-Bird eating batteries? It's charging the battery ok, but somethings killing them. Two in 6 months. Anyone have similar problem/and/or answer?

hmm? where did you find an 06 model? or did you make a mistake in the year?
as for eating batteries - keep complaining to your dealer - sounds like a drain THEY need to find. It shouldn't be happening.
do check the position of your interior light dial in the mean time. do not leave it on high intensity.

Has anyone had any problems with their air conditioning. I have a 2002 with 10,000 miles and the air has never been cold but now it is the temperature outside. I keep it in the garage alot, a few people say I should run it more. Please advise.

Sounds like you need to take it in for AC work.

I recently put a used hardtop from a 2002 model on my '05 T-Bird that I purchase on ebay. At highway speeds of 70+ mph I now have a low frequency vibration and hummm that I suspect is air pressure leaking out of the cabin past the rubber seal where the hardtop seats on the rear deck. Water also drips into the interior at the top front corners when I wash it. Is this a common problem and is there a fix?

Some owners have had success with readjustments on their hardtops.
Here's one way to adjust it - try this first and see if it improves:
" suggest you remove the plastic headliner and loosen the 3 screws on each side, then place the hardtop on, back pins first and allow the front pins to drop in for a perfect fit. Remember to tighten the screws after the hardtop is seated and snap the headliner back on.
I hope this might solve the problem, it is no fun to own that hardtop and not be able to use it."
Also, please send me a reply to this email and I'll send you a pdf file of a technical service bulliten that Ford put out on servicing the hardtop.
Just be aware, that even after you go thru those procedures, there is still the possibility that the hardtop will still leak as not all the hardtops have a perfect fit.
