ingress

2003 W203 Saloon: During the last few periods of heavy rainfall I have found water collecting in the boot. The water collects in the left hand side cubby hole / storage area behind the rear SAM and causes the right hand rear indicator to malfunction until dried out. The boot lid seal seems...

Hi everyone, This one took a while but lots of searching and head scratching but i finally stopped water coming in on my SL 350. In the end it was a very simple solution basically the roof not closing to a tight fit. Leaving the seals with a 1or 2 mm gap which caused water ingress. The...

Hi all I was wondering if someone can help me with a water ingress issue my car is suffering with. I seem to keep getting water ingress on the carpet just behind the front passenger seat in the footwell which keeps getting soaking wet after rain. It only seems to affect that area but I am not...

Noticed a few watermarks on the drivers seat this morning after a few heavy showers yesterday, after further investigation with a hosepipe aimed predominantly at the top of the drivers side screen witnessed a few drips eminating from the inner front door post upholstery/roof lining. Just...

Hi need help with removal of boot lid liner to access stop light in the boot lid

Carpets out, drivers seat out, rear seats out and three kitchen rolls later, the floor and cross members are dry....even had to peal off some of the sound proofing to get at residual water. Unlike the usual sources, water seems to be entering via the rear window seal, travelling down the...

Hi, my car suddenly refused to start and the MB Mobilo technician diagnosed the problem as water ingress in the fuse box which corroded the fuses. This was caused (apparently) by blocked water drain holes in the windscreen wiper scuttle. I am now fanatical about clearing these drain holes as...

I recently had a number of problems which appeared to be caused by water ingress but I just couldn't locate where and how! My lights would come on my horn would sound which was a nightmare today I lost all electrics to the car, I suspect the water has blown a fuse! Previously I had been trying...

Interesting one Just been talking with an insurance claims adjuster going through a few points and we spoke about Mercs. The subject of new MLs came up as since August 2013 he has personally signed off 6 cars (post 2012 – V6TDi) models due to engine hydraulicing . In 4 out of the 6, he stated...

Just noticed some water getting into the back of the car at the base of the rear side opening windows - these hinge out a few inches at the rear of the glass. The pooling was much worse before I wiped it and then thought to take a pic. The lamp I used was very bright so you see a reflection of...

Does anyone have instructions for removing the rear interior door panels on a W169 A-Class (I think these have been emailed to various forum members on request), or alternatively does anyone have experience of the following issue: I’m having a problem with water getting in on the rear passenger...

Hi guys, the wife just got back from shopping with wet feet. She has driven the car in rain before, but not in a torrential downpour. The footwell carpet is soaked and she said it was dripping on her feet from above the accelerator pedal. I've had a look and can see streaks of water down the...

Hi everyone, in need of some help. Had major water ingress twice now on my CL..first time was blocked air box or so I thought. Carpets removed, new SAM needed & replaced. Air box unblocked & checked regular. For a month all was fine then Xmas day car electrics went haywire again & even better...

As those long-suffering members will recall I have had an ongoing problem with water ingress, relating to a poor repair to the tailgate following corrosion correction a few years ago. A few weeks ago, I spotted a wet patch on the black painted boot floor catch, which is situated directly...

I have a CLK W208 200 Kompressor and has most recently developed a fault where I loose ABS, ESP, the speedo and automatic gear change, this normally happens in very wet road conditions, so I assume I have a water ingress problem with something. If any one can help identify "the something" I...

There are two triangular plastic sealer/panels which are located under the boot lid and just below each side of the rear windscreen. They are two of a number of small different shaped panels surrounding the boot rim/drain chanel to prevent water running off and under the bodywork. The offside...

Just noticed on my '91 230TE, that a slight amount of water is seeping into the rear of the car (not much, just a few drips). There is a 2 piece metal trim, that surrounds the rear window, and at the top, there is about an 6"wide 1/8 inch opening. I'm pretty certain this is where the water is...

Just remembered. I was driving the Merc down the town tonight when I noticed the sound of water rushing up and down the car. Me thinks it was in the door.(blocked drain holes and all that) Nope! Then me thinks it can only be in the sill. Yep! Pulled out the large bung at the front of the...

Hello All, During yesterdays heavy rain in the highlands, i drove through a rather large puddle (2 foot deep almost!) and today noticed there is water in both fog lights. Anyone know the best way of getting the water out? Do the lenses come off easily? Cheers
