2000 S500 Water in rear passanger Vanity mirrior
The rear passanger vanity mirror is leaking water when it rains, I am almost positive it is coming from the sunroof. Some one told be to check the drains in the sunroof. I located the front drains, but the rear drains i can not access because the sunroof is in the way. Can any one tell me how to access the rear drains to blow compressed air through them. Or tell me what the problem could be. Does anyone know where them drains drain out under the car?undefined

W 220 320 cdi
I might be able to help you here.
I had the same thing on my 220 320 Cdi and water was also coming through the front roof light.
The mild steel down pipes between the front drain holes in the Sun roof had corroded away. I had new steel tubes welded in on both sides at the front ( This involved taking out some interior trim).
What happens is the water can flow back towards the rear drains which can't cope and water gets through the rear vanity light.
This repair cost me £320 but it is now completely dry.
Before getting it checked make sure the front drains aren't blocked by pouring water down the drain holes, it should come out in the front wheelarch.
