I can see all of those except the windshield---how's it get all the way back there? That would be the _rear_ windshield, of course. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Early 126 water in trunk
The trunk can get rain if the drainage channels in the trunk lid seals are full of leaves and dirt - just takes a screw driver blade run through them to clean them out. Use a stick, don't risk scratching the paint. A major source of trunk water can be the taillight seals.

Re: [MBZ] Early 126 water in trunk
When I owned my '83 300SD, it used to get plenty of water in the trunk. I noticed plenty of rust on the underside of the panel beneath the window, not sure if this was the cause or result of the dampness in the trunk. Of course, you could lie inside the trunk on your back and look up at it to see if there is any rust through.
