During a recent service at a main dealer, it was reported that the trunk of my W169 A-Class is full of water! I had this problem in another W169 where the water is entering the boot via the rear bumper vents. My indie fixed this by replacing both vents, however, I just found a Youtube video from Belgium where it was suggested that the original vents can be reuse by sealing them in with silicone sealant.
This got me thinking, is it actually necessary to replace the old vents with new vents, or is it simply resealing the old vents into place to stop the water from entering the trunk via the gaps between the vents and the bodywork?
Any opinion on this?
