Does anyone know if there are any particular leak points on the tailgate of a R Class? (guessing ML will be similar)
After periods of rain, when the tail gate is lifted, I get water running out of the top corner trim piece (obviously it's now upside down), I lift it slightly away from the metal & loads of water will run out. There's also water within the main body of the tailgate. I just assumed that it was the seal around the tailgate, but looking at it today, just wondered if water could be going past the actual glass somewhere. Upper trim pieces are now removed, but will try & remove the large panel from the tailgate itself
