The owner's manual specifically says to turn off the climate control system BEFORE taking it through a carwash...

Also, I would check the drains inside that removable cowl with some water (while out of the car) to see if they are clogged.

It's more than likely, as mentioned earlier, one of your drains is clogged. Sometimes leaves can get caught up in there. You can use pressure in most of drains to forcibly clean then out, provided you can see or reach them.

recirc. does not keep doors closed
I checked with technical people at MBUSA when I noticed this and they said to turn it OFF. That is supposed to shut the doors or whatever.
When I get mine washed, this is almost as infuriating as the stupid auto Park feature when you open the door. Don't know if M-B still does this, but I have a sheet in my car in case the attendant doesn't know how to place it in Neutral and then exit the car without it going back into Park. Most do know, but not all.
I have notes on top of sheet to remind me to turn HVAC Off and turn auto wipers Off.
