Mercedes 230e LPG saloon
Leak on A pillar

Hi there,
I have just bought my first 1985 230e and she is lovely. I have a factory fit sunroof and the seals seem very perished and rust has set in around the edge of the lid. Today whilst driving to work I noticed a small dribble of water seeping through the top a pillar trim and dripping. Is this likely to be from the sunroof or should I look elsewhere (eg screen). It does seem a little high to be coming from the screen.

Also, my rubber window and sill seals are a bit tired (as well as the sunroof seal) does anyone know a good supplier.

Thanks in advance
Graeme

appologies for the lack of question marks. Questions are, is this leak likely to be the sunroof if its leaking of the A pillar trim and does anyone know a good seal rubber supplier? I have also discovered a lot of water in the rear drivers side footwell.....
