[diesel_mercedes] Clogged Sunroof Drain Holes

Two in the front corners are easy to see and clean out, *gently* use some weed whacker string to work through the accumulated leaf mulch .

OK, listen real careful. I'm on my 9th
Mercedes 123 bodystyle
and every single one
has had a leak of some kind when I first bought
them. So here's the ones I've found so
far in my experience:

1.
Sunroof. Most common. Usually clogged drain holes in the top
like
the other guys have mentioned. Prone
b/c of leaves, straw, etc
getting there and
people not cleaning them out. You can tell real
quick by watering down the sunroof (open or
closed) and if it's
clogged, the water
will back up and then drain unseen down the front
pillars and appear in your floorboards.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] clogged drain holes in the top

There are drains in the front corners and basically at about the rear of the sunroof opening. You can try to use a long flexible rod of some kind, or a small thermonuclear device. But before you go that far, open the sunroof and carefully pour some water in the side channels outside the tracks. If water runs out under the car you have a different problem. As was previously suggested another possibility is leakage around the windshield or the area under the battery plate.
