Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : Footwell Water Collection

 

I haev owned numerous of the 123 cars with this problem.  If it is not rotten rocker panels, then it is usually the windshield seal or rot from under the battery tray that is contributing to the indoor swimming pool.

Max ;

I sure hope you're not suggesting he drill drain holes ! .

That's the very worst solution as the open holes allow the _inghress_ of water tossed up from the tires and so promote rusting and ruination of the entire vehicle .

Guess how I learned this 40 + years ago ? .

I also learned the water is *very* elastic so the drain holes must be much larger then you'd think , further negating their usefullness .
