Hi, i have a w203, 2001. Today was raining and when i opened my trunk i noticed that the lining from the bottom part of the right side "pocket", behind the back wheel arch was wet. I pulled out the lining and i checked the walls around thinking that the water has to infiltrate from somewhere above. Nothing. I checked also the taillights and their mountings same result. The "pocket" was wet only on the very bottom, nowhere else.
Do you have any idea where this water is coming from?
I want also to mention that i am parking my car under a tree and the leaves have blocked the space between the car and the plastic trims located by the trunk drainage. Can this be the reason?
I have noticed this moisture after i drove my car in the rain, so i don't know if it was wet from before.
I never had this problem before, even in winters and heavy snow.
I am waiting for your answer.
Thank you in advance.
 
Check at the bottom of the pocket, pull the lining out completely and if there is a rubber grommet down there see if it is seated properly. Water could be getting in from underneath.
