I have just bought a C Class 200 CDI and I found out that when it rains the drivers well fills with water coming from under the dash board on the side by the door. can anyone help me to stop this. Stewart

 

I guess you never got any replies. Did you find the source of your problem? I have the same one with my W115 and haven't found the source. Water leaks in and it's under the floor mat on the driver's side. The top side of the mat isn't wet. I suppose I will have to get under the dash as best I can and have the wife use a garden hose to spray the windshield area.

 

Hi David6F1 I have not found the leak yet, but I think I have narrowed it down to either the windscreen or the black strip that goes up the side of the windscreen and or the roof. Car is due for a sevice in two weeks so I am going to get the machanic to look at it, I will let you know if and when I find the leak.

which should arrive this week from Pasadena CA. I can see a problem with the panoramic sunroof that I think has a good fix. Since the shades are barely
enough to block out any significant light let alone heat, I thought I might get awning canvas and cover the two panels so as not to restrict function, but lower the interior temperatures. It'd look like fold back roofs from the 60's, keep the roof panels lots cooler and still keep the original function of the pano roof, just not the glass see-through when closed. Anyone have any ideas why this WOULDN'T work? The outside color is cuprite brown so I think it would be easier to try and match the interior almond. Thoughts, anyone?
