i am now wondering if removing all that was enough. i'll have to the do the garden hose test soon to check.

where is the water supposed to drain? does the water go behind the fender? i wish i could remove the fender or something to see
I found a soft rubber tube coming down by the back of the wheel well (W123 84 300D) that I assume is the end of the drain that originates in the rear of the engine compartment. I could be wrong, as maybe it comes from further up, like the the sunroof or the windshield channel. Wherever, I found it was plugged with debris and mud. I poked that stuff, as I am sure it was holding back water.
