Wet carpets
Hi, my W208 has got a bad problem when it rains
After a heavy rainfall, water gushes out as the door is opened where it has been collecting on top of the sill, it also trickles over the sill down the plastic trim inside and soaks the carpets. I've checked all the drain holes and there all clear. I've had it back to the garage they adjusted the window regulator and the door, but it still leaks. Wondering if I need new door seals (the ones that run across the top and down into the side windows), anybody changed them thereself, and do you know a cheap supplier, my local dealer wanted £84 + VAT per side (not fitted)

Wow, that sucks. A few questions:
1) Is it on both sides?
2) Does it leak only once you open the door or with it closed?
I have seen these seals on E-bay several times although I just checked and don't see any now. I found one auction for a w210 window seal, you may want to contact the seller and see if they can get w208 window seals. The seller ID is: oemeurodirect
Good luck.
