SL 500
Trunk Leak SL500

Hello,

Not sure where to post this as I'm new to this site but I have a 2003 SL 500 with 104,000 miles on it. I've had it for close to two years and from day one have had issues with water getting in my trunk and causing problems with the power locking and other issues. I want to know if someone else has had a similar issue and what the cost was to repair the trunk seal with the mercedes dealership. I have an appointment tomorrow to get it checked out and just wanted a rough estimate of what it would cost to fix the seal. I know I'm probably in for some other repairs which I will try to knock out one by one because as you may know mercedes are expensive to fix.

Thanks for your help.
