W463 - 1995 - Water in Footwell - Need help narrowing down the cause
Hello dear G-Community,
I've been with MBworld for quite some time and now I've ended up in your area , since I bought a W463 - 1995 - G320 (petrol).
I practically "bought" a list of defects and am now trying to eliminate them successively and hope that you
you can help me with one or the other problem
Current problem:
- Water in the footwell (driver and front passenger)
- When does the problem arise: when driving in the rain for a long time/car wash. Hardly / not really reproducible with the garden hose
- The classics
- I can rule out windshield wiper shafts / windshield frames, as I was able to remove the speedometer and passenger fittings to see that everything there is dry so far
- My guess passenger side
- Door seals / The spray film behind the door panel
- Please also see pictures
- My guess driver side
- ....no idea
- you can see that the water drips onto the hood release switch and there 2 cables get soaked. Could that be from the door/side?
- See also pictures
- Do you have any experiences/ideas that could help me narrow it down? Of course, I will also share my experiences in the context of maintenance here.
Kind regards & Thank you
