I know this has probably been discussed before and is a known issue with these cars. Taken mine away for a few days and the biblical rain we have had has resulted in some water in the boot. Seems to have leaked from the drivers side corner i.e. the edge nearest the driver. Luckily my coat seems to have absorbed most of it and there’s none in the well with the spare wheel. My question is what is the mod to the seals? Is it easy DIY or a garage job?
 
It's a pretty easy fix, if you go to the other MB forum there is a DIY guide that has step by step instructions.
 
Very good links. After viewing them I opened my roof and held it in position with the wooden block as shown.
I was surprised just how much dirt was lurking in the corners. I thought I had already cleaned my seals but this revealed the areas I had missed.

Thanks for the links.
