W126 560SEL Water leak advice
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have a 91 560SEL, I noticed a slight water leak starting to happen on the Left front side. It has rained a few days ago & I also washed my car today. I noticed the Left front carpeting slightly wet, To make a long story short, I have water slightly dripping into the left side front floor board looks like it is coming from the Pillar area near the windshield. I removed the plastic cowl trim on the left side under the wipers, cleaned off all the debris and cleared the drains. I had my friend run the hose while I monitored for the leak and still found water slightly coming in, before it gets any worse what could this be? I snapped a picture of the left side cowl area where the drain is and tried to get a pic of the left side bulk head under the windshield . Any one else run into this?

I had rust on my car in the same spot as your first picture. Mine looked just like yours - before I started prodding and found there was a good fist sized rust hole :(

I covered it with fiberglass dipped in miracle paint :) No more leaks :)

hmm.. I will look into this miracle paint and take apart the whole cowl & check out the other side of the cowl area. Thanks
