Two thoughts:
a) I think I remember one of Kent's (mercedessource) videos on water leak on the carpeting, and he tracked it back to the start which was in the engine area (the leak runs downhill).
b. On my wife's car I get water under the hood when I wash the car. Apparently the water gets in through the vents by the windows and it piles up in the drain areas. Because this car is parked under trees it accumulates leaves and crud in the drain holes.
The sun is out now and I am going to haul everything out of my car because I found an old VERY WET t-shirt laying on my rear carpet yesterday so am assuming I need to dry out my carpets (ps-same spot Kent had his wet carpet)

Clean out drains under hood hinge and inside cowl. Bet you have a rust hole in left windshield cowl.

I have a 84 300D. I am getting about a 1/8 on H2O on the floorboard on the drivers side. I can not seem to find out where it is coming from. the door seals seem to be tight, it is not the sun roof. Are there any vents I need to check? I am thinking maybe windshield but wanted to know if there are any other ways it can get in. Saw a guy on our craigslist selling a car with the same issue. Kind of weird. Seems like a lot of water.
