So my wife was driving our GLC home from Target and came home to realize that a bottle of Oxyclean detergent was evidently not sealed, fell over, and spilled all over the back of the trunk. Probably about half the bottle of detergent spilled. Some issues we started seeing immediately were that the radio and the Bluetooth both stopped working. I cleaned up as much detergent as I could and took a look around (as well as took some photos that are attached). It looks like the fuse box itself was not majorly impacted by the detergent. I did not see much liquid around it. What I did see was that it looked like most of the detergent went down that vent on the right-hand side of the trunk photo.

Does anyone know where that goes and what it is? Any guess on the damage that is done now?

I also attached a photo from below the car where you can see that the detergent went all the way through and started dripping on the passenger side muffler.

Whelp, so got it into the Mercedes dealership. Ended up being $5k in damage - nav unit, radio unit, trailer hitch.

Sorry to hear that. This is why I purchased a trunk tray with the car. It was well worth the money.
