Bit of pre winter preventative maintenance . Ive been informed by a keen Merc owner that the boot channels clog up with mud under the side plastic trims which can lead to water getting in the boot so this lunchtime i removed them and sure enough the channels were indeed full of wet mud .
Ive cleaned both out so they and the plastic cover are spotless . Also noted the plastic clips did very little , in fact i removed them without pushing the pin in .
Ive replaced them with ones with screw in centres having put a load of non setting roof and gutter sealant around the holes and under the new clips .
Hopefully that will stop any potential leaks
