This has happened on my W202, W208 and W210 so I thought it might save some members a lot of headache and to be pro-active.
Clean the reservoir that drains out water under the hood on the passenger side if you live in an area where there is a good amount of leaves and debris, if not it gets clogged and leaks into the passenger area from under the glove compt. Always happens when we get a good amount of rain like we have had on the East Coast for sometime now. I just use a wire hanger to unclog the hole, pretty easy fix. On my older W210 E55 though it got my TCU wet and fried it because so much water leaked through, luckily on my W208 and W202 it missed this area but does get close, so it can be a costly fix! I am going to make note to check this often from here on out but thought I should mention it.
Hope this might help someone out!
