Leaking tailgate on an "89 300TE
 

Hi,
I seem to have a leak coming into the back of my 300TE wagon. My guess is that it is the rubber weatherstripping attached to the car & going all around where the tailgate fits. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas where to get replacement weatherstripping?
Thanks,
John

Could be the sealercompound in the rubber holding the trunk windows inplace it gets hard in time and therefore starts to leak, check around all windows in trunk next time it rains
to locate leak, if leaking buy sealercompound from mb to seal it or change rubber holding window, if you buy new rubber the sealer is already in the the rubber, if you go with trying to seal the old rubber with sealer compound you should take out the window with the leak remove the old hard compound and put some new in its a messy job but it worked for me, my 300 te was leaking in all three trunk windows
