Yep. I checked those, they're all clear. This issue was in the little recess in the body that the sunroof drains go into. I got all of the caulking material the PO used to "seal" the hole out, so tonight I'll patch it in a more permanent manner. Everything else around it is in good shape and draining as it should.

Haha! Wish I could disagree with you. I rather often enjoy the sunroof on my moms W210, but that's a much newer car! I never even open the W123 sunroof.

As to leaks, I think your brake lights have gaskets that can allow water in the trunk area. Other than that, make sure your trunk lid seal is free of debris; that can divert the water into the trunk.

Thanks for the tips. I'm all over the brake lights and what not.
