Hi!
when I wash my car 2016 w213 E350 i find that there is water on the floor inside the car. It is on the drivers side dripping down approx under the steering wheel on the left side as you se on the foto below.
ive got my windsheild Window changed a mounth ago. can it have anything to do with it?
Anyone have a clue about where the water can come from? Can it be a Drain that is blocked?

What car do you have? There is no 2016 W213. The first model year for the W213 was 2017.

not to be blunt but......obviously it has something to do with the windshield replacement you had. I dont know why you would ask the forum for something that should be clear to you as glass....no pun intended lol

contact the person who did the windshield

also you posted on the wrong forum if you own an E350, there are no E350's in the W213 lineup

Its a model 2017, but produced in 2016. Just bought the car and the first i did was to change the windowsheild at mercedes. So i dont know if it was leaking earlier.
saw in a w212 thread one was having similar problem. He mentioned a plugged drain below the windowsheild in the ”airbox”.

I had a similar issue, but through a commercial car wash. I was told by the dealer, and it was in the manual also to either set the climate control to Off or Recirc. Apparently if the water hits at the right angle it will come through into the cabin. I have followed the recommendation since then and since then haven't had an issue.

Thanks for the answers. Gonna check with mercedes on thursday. Its possible that i had the ac on.

I had a Volvo XC wagon that had the same problem. It turned out that on that car there are two drains in the cowl near the wipers that take runoff water from the windshield through two hoses safely to the ground. The hoses had become clogged with leaves and stuff and clearing them with a wire coat hanger fixed the problem.

EDIT - I want to add that the clogged drains were causing the water to back up on the cowl and get into the fresh air vents that are located there and then get into the passenger compartment. I don't know if the E300 is similar but it's worth a look.

Problem solved! It was the new windsheild who was leaking. They are replacing it today.
Thanks for the help guys!
