[W124] Sunroof drainage

[Declan Mc Dermott]

Hi again Frank,

What I suggest you do is remove the rear seat base and the sound insulation, 
then sit inside the car while somebody else pours water over the rear 
drivers side window. From previous experience I imagine you may see a slow 
drip of water come from inside the side trim and make it's way down into the 
recess beneath the seat where the central locking pump is situated. I would 
also advise that you lift the carpet on this side and check under the 
driver's seat for any water or dampness.
If this is the problem you will have to remove the trim and sort whatever is 
causing the water to fall onto the rear of the trim. Im not too sure how 
involved this is on the coupe, but beleive me it is not something I would 
look foward to doing again on the cab.

Enjoy,

Declan.
