By the sounds of it this is a well discussed topic.................lets hope someone comes along soon to give you some positive information about solving this.
As I understand it the issue has been around for years .........hopefully there is some wisdom and a solution for you. As a new member myself I hope all further answers will shine some light on the solution.
Perhaps more established members will remember that we all have to start somewhere

Along with a search on Google which reveals many owners with similar problems,there is an old thread here at MBClub which may be of some useful reading. http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/bodywork/54218-water-leaks-r230-boot-solution.html...
Some leaks seem to never get cured. I gave up with an old Triumph 2.5 where the spare wheel well would fill up with water and drilled drain holes, problem solved !
