Be carefull I put a new seal in mine and now it will not pop up without my help. The new seals are tight and need some time to wear in.
The seals have a up and down and a front and back. I had them replaced on my 92 140 body ( slight rust spot in the corner), and they did a terrible job, even cutting out a portion when there was excess. Get the proper one from MB, lube it slightly, start in the corners and work it in. It would not hurt to clean the groove in the roof. I used a little seam roller from a wallpaper kit to seat it, and it is perfect, did not need to wear in. The drains are meant to get rid of water that seeps thru but will not handle a deluge. (I did get the body shop to supply me with a brand new one in a bag, the cost is $150)
