Hi folks,

My mother's 2000 C280 has a leak in the front passenger footwell. I thought the drain screens under the wiper were clogged, so I cleaned them but water still comes in. Has anyone come across this and know what allows water to get in?

My 98 C230 has this problem in the back doors only, on both sides. It appears that it gets in at the rear corner of the window and then makes its way inside the door to the lock/latch on the inside of the door gasket. Then it runs down the door jamb and pools in the foot well. Water does not collect in the door itself. It has nothing to do with the door drains which are nice and clean.

Mike
