W204 water leaking into boot c220 sport - MBClub UK

k15yeo · 16-06-2012, 07:53 AM

Opened the tailgate last week to find mold on the carpet, i cleanned it all off and dryed out the boot area as it was soaking. Week later its wet again. Could this be leaking through seals whilst standing still or maybe underneath whilst driving? Any1 know of common faults? Thanks

There is a dealer update recall for the trunk lid stop buffers! Not sure if this would help?

Will chase that up with the main dealer thanks

The dealer recall was to unscrew the tailgate stop buffers 2 turns to stop the tailgate hitting the bumper. This was too much and caused a gap and water to leak

I sugest screw the buffers clockwise 1 full turn to stop a leak but make sure boot aint touching bumper
