Hi..
I have finally found that the leak I have in my boot is coming from the rear passenger side light unit..
It goes as follows:
If you open the boot (W203 saloon) you will see a channel for the rain just below the rear screen.. The water runs into the channel and proceeds left and right along the channel.. The water then meets a plastic trim which is about 2 feet long .. The water goes behing this trim as its supposed to do but for some reason as its behind it, it detours behind the rear light cluster and dribbles into the boot on the left hand side..
My thoughts are as follows.. Am I OK the remove the rear light unit and "Wodge" (MB technical term) a load of silicon sealer around where the light unit meets the body of the car.. This would in effect seal the light unit against outside water..
I see no reason I shouldn't do this but what are your thoughts..
Thank you
