If you've got water in your trunk, most likely it's from a leaking trunk seal. I've seen water in my trunk on my 83' 300D though I haven't gone looking for the culprit.
Though come to think of it, both of my Subaru's have had water in the trunks and those were from leaking seals around the taillights. Perhaps that's the problem here as well. Again, I haven't gone looking yet as my trunk with the greasecar tank isn't exactly a place I would keep anything important unless it's in a storage tote or something else that would protect it...

I just finished sanding and painting the passenger well of the trunk in the 240D. Wasn't too bad thankfully - especially considering how long water may have been allowed to collect there. Question is: what purpose does that rubber plug really serve since the small hole in the big plastic insert won't really let anything through? Perhaps it's to disallow too much road grime or dirt or rocks to come up into the body? I'm tempted to leave it out to avoid clogging again. Also, is water supposed to drain into there in the first place? Say, from the normal route of the gutters that route rain water? If not, why did water collect there after a rain? Oh, and I was impressed with what I saw in terms of how deeply into the seams where two pieces of metal met that there was rubber-like goo from the factory in there. Seems to me that'd resist corrosion pretty well.
