Post W123 Trunk Water Ingress

Water in the trunk isn't coming from the windshield, maybe the back light .

I've found some with the drain tube in the fuel filler well loose, you have to remove the tank firewall to see, then it's a very simple thing to correct .

The rubber drains in the trunk floor are beginning to age out and crumble, luckily they're the same as some W124's and maybe W126's ~ I simply took a dead one into the junkyard and matched up the hole size .

Remember : you'll have to keep this rubber clean of oil as well as gravel, leaves or any other debris or the water will just puddle up and never drain out .
