Water under carpet :(

[Steve-O]

Lifted my Rear Seat on the 190E and found a puddle under rear Seat on Passenger side.

Anyone else had this problem and know where its comming from?

Thanks

If you have a sun roof the drain is a good place to start.

i thinks theres some rubber grommets round there where water might be getting through, or check the rear window rubber

Im sure someone will have some other suggestions as well

the car is just sitting for now in the back.

Rubber grommets arent the problem as it was about 2 inches deep of water.

Will try and check all the rubbers around the window

Removing the back rest of the rear seat tomorrow to inspect further as that fabric insulator stuff was all damp thats under the seat

I had this before and it is probably coming from a hole in the door skin plastic membrain (behind door trim) and running down the inside of the door and down behind the internal sill carpet....check for water marks on the trim

that might be the problem, yesterday I opened the back passenger door and lots of water came from bottom of the door card.

yep...thats the one....

ok, Sadly its not the door trim... Took the rear seat backrest off and can see a little slight stream of water leading to the boot. I will get a pic, might be easier to show.

Where about does the Sunroof drain go? Does it go down the rear left (passenger side) piller??

Heres a quick pic, I have indicated in Blue roughly the flow of the water.
