1999 clk 320 went to car wash today and after had water in my right side passenger at front where cowl meets floor. There is a cover at the base of the dash (horizontal) that has holes in it for ventalation and it has insulation on it and it was soaked. I unscrewed it and took it off and there is a black box the side of 10 by 8 inches that has a plug going in to it and 2 clips on it. I moved the clips and dropped it down and about 8 oz of water poured down. It looks like this has a motor that has a spinning rotor in it. I dried it all out and now have a fan on it. The water is definitely from the car wash because it had a red tint to it and smelled like the car wash soap. 1. how did the water get in. 2. do i have to worry about regular rain? 3 do you think this is a one time problem.
