Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has feel and can aid me with a leak I have. Since I've had the auto the little 'fin' flake at the top of the A frame and passenger window has always filled with water. I don't even see how it can fill but does.

Then after some heavy pelting last week it acquired the roof liner to make full up with water and quite a bit gushed out the roof when I moved and was incessantly dripping for a few days when driven.

Now it'south all stale up I took information technology as well the car wash and the only thing that show signs of ingress was that fin again. I have checked and the drainage hole is fine and drains ok information technology merely makes no sense!

I've checked the top channel where I would wait water to come in and that drains fine too and can't perchance permit water into that fin and the window seems to shut fine.

The commuter side fin didn't fifty-fifty go ane drip in it and never has

Help!

Andy

There are many drains on that roof . Practise you treat your seals with Gummi phledge . If you await on SLK Earth.com there is a lot of info on roof leaks . Diagrams showing all drains and where and how to lube the roof seals and mechanisms . Hope this helps skilful luck.

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has experience and can help me with a leak I have. Since I've had the auto the little 'fin' bit at the elevation of the A frame and passenger window has always filled with water. I don't even run across how it tin fill up but does.

So afterward some heavy pelting last week it caused the roof liner to fill up with water and quite a bit gushed out the roof when I moved and was incessantly dripping for a few days when driven.

At present it'southward all dried up I took information technology as well the car wash and the just thing that show signs of ingress was that fin again. I have checked and the drainage hole is fine and drains ok it just makes no sense!

I've checked the peak channel where I would expect water to come in and that drains fine besides and can't possibly let water into that fin and the window seems to shut fine.

The driver side fin didn't even go 1 drip in information technology and never has

Help!

Andy

Same hither. Must exist the bodily fixed roof seals, and then without total dismantling, non sure how to fix. Mercedes dealer quoted £1200!!!. Any thoughts welcome.

Now various and sundry
Aforementioned here. Must be the actual stock-still roof seals, so without full dismantling, not sure how to fix. Mercedes dealer quoted £1200!!!. Whatever thoughts welcome.
If all else fails, I'd be tempted to practise a fume test which quickly identifies gaps in seals at roof level.
