My 1982 280SL – 107 Body. Rain water getting into passenger compartment. I believe I have isolated it to coming through the screened under grill like area (air intake?), just below the windshield exterior on passenger side. When water hosing over there, with inspection panels under carpet inside passenger leg well open, I can see water coming in. (Although, I must say, I'm trhowing a lot of water on and it seems small compared to the amount of water I get in from rain).

How do I fix this? It seems the grill area is riveted and not easily accessed/removed. Is it a drainage tube or such inside or more likely a totally rusted out piece inside? Any other suggestions?
