- Hi everyone. Like probably every convertible car owner, I have had to deal with our nemesis, water ingress into the cabin and boot.
In this video I am going to share my experience with resolving it on my Mercedes-Benz R171 SLK350. I will share some of the price quotes I was given due to the Vario-Roof (metal folding hard top), how I tracked the location of leaks, and how I have almost totally resolved them.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers. If you can share the details of the product, price and where to buy.
I have the exact same leak areas but very little leakage. Boot , I get leaks from the two plastic pipes that run over that dip which collects the water. I laugh when I clean it thinking MB designed that knowing it would leak or a preventive.
I use a cover daily as only use the SLK once a week if that. I've used the official seal cleaning liquid some months ago for this first time.
Good shout on the dehumidifier.
Hi Davey, very interesting video. Could you provide full details or a link to the product you used please? My SLK does not actually leak but I have been thinking of treating the rubbers to prevent any future leaks. Many thanks.
Sounds like some of your drainage holes are blocked up - particularly the issue with the boot. My 2002 R170 is fine touch wood. My seals have been regularly maintained since I bought it six years ago, silicon spray seems to work well every few months, but Mercedes have their own stuff.
Hi would it be possible to get your email please
