Hi Guys,

I have bought my first MB and one I have always wanted!

W124, 1989, 300CE, 226,000k, Red!

Not running at the moment, so any helpful hints on fix the issues below will be helpful.

Rear O/S window not working
Water leak into boot (can't find the leak)

Plus any other sound advice. Plan to restore this beautiful car and keep it original.

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Congrats on your new purchase - its a legendary model.

As you await response on this forum, in the meantime check out this youtube video by Kent Burgsma - Mercedessource about boot water leaks , he's an expert of MB cars and has many videos of various subjects regarding the older MBs - I think it'll be a good helping hand for you.

Enjoy the car and the process of fixing it up. I have a white S124 E280 from 95 and love it.
