I HAVE A 99 SLK THAT SEEM TO HAVE A VERY SMALL LEAK BETWEEN THE DRIVER DOOR AND ROOF...I HAVE TRIED THE SEAL REGUVANATRO AND MB HAD ADJUSTED THE DOOR AS MUCH AS THEY CAN THEY KNOW SAY IT WOULD BE 1200 CDN TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE SEALS (RUBBER) AND LABOUR...DOES ANYONE HAVE A CHEAPER SULOTION

 

does it continue to leak after you open and shut the door for more than 5 miles. It is kind of normal, especially during heavy rain, for a small amountwater to be held in the seal after you open and close the door. Itusually drips for a short time then quits. If it leaks continuously then I can't help ya.

 

Don't drive in the rain??? LOL! But seriously, it's a common problem with the SLK - just look at all the previous posts regarding water leaks at the window.

 

BTW I religiously keep my seals very clean. I wipe the seals as I dry the car with towels after washin' her. then treat with a uv protectant and conditioner every couple of months to keep them pliable. stop the top 1/2 way back to access the seal around the top, usually a good time to clean the glass too. be careful not to knock off a couple of bumpers that the inside cover flops down on when closing. Will make the cover a bit noisier when it comes down. This isfrom experience. if the sealsare a little hard and not yet cracking. You might try a hair dryer to soften the gasket by heating it up while applying a seal conditioner.
