- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- after a storm I noticed water in the rear pasanger seat and after looking around the car I found the leak, the cars have drains for water but when those drains are clogged or damage the water is redirect and can go anywhere. is important to detect where is the problem.
I have a GLK350 2010 and I have the exact same problem, water leaking from the roof, exactly from the passenger side. Dealership wont do nothing about it beside charge me a lot of money, I fixed it myself thanks to your video. I bet a lot of mercedes owners out there have the same issue and they have not talked about it or they just dont know what to do. This issue should be considered as a recall, and dealerships should fix it for free.
I'm glad this video was helpful my friend.👍
Yes. I have this Problem with my Mercedes 2012 C300. When there is a hard rain. I no longer have a garage so the car fills up on the passenger side wells under the front passenger seat. This is a poor design and should be a recall issue. I have had many cars with sunroofs that Never Leaked. This is the only one having this problem.
Mercedes are not made like they used to, thats for sure. I hope this video help you fix this problem. Thank you for watching
Been struggling with this issue for 3 years, I'm at a carwash right now, and just when i saw you writing the comment in your video that Air pressure did for you, i went and did it.. water running like a spring... Thanks a lot man, may God almighty bless you 🤲🏻
Hi. I'm glad this video help you my friend. Thank you for watching.
Water got in my car too after a rain storm. C300 2013. Unfortunately the water caused electrical damage and now it may be a total loss. It’s unfortunate how common this is and true of what one commenter said, Mercedes should have recalled. It’s sad, I loved my car. It’s white like the one in your video, with beige leather interior. Very informative video. Thanks!
Hi, sorry to hear that. You are correct when you said this is a common problem, it seems like mercedes are not making the cars like they used to; i hope you can fix your mercedes without having to spend too much money. Thank you for watching.
will car insurance cover something like that?
Did it shut down while you were driving?
@@seanhill1164 yeaa i had the same story. It must be changed the CAN connectors under the carpet, driver and passenger side. It depends on which side the water leaked. It has 2 CAN connector under driver side and 4 can connector under passenger side. The important and danger ones are under the drivers side. Bcs all of pre-safe systems are working by these two connector. Good luck
@@seanhill1164mines did, did you ever figure out why or what happened? Mines happened like 3 days ago
You are a life saver. Had the same issue and wasn’t looking forward to $$$$ repair.
Hi. I'm glad I was able to help you my friend. Thank you for watching.
You should never put pressure on those roof drains. You can blow the drain hoses off of the nipples under the window frame. Then all of the water will drain into the headliner and you'll have to pull the liner down to replace the hoses. The trick is you have to remove the spider traps on the bottom end of the drain hoses. They trap debris and cause the water to back all the way up to the roof window. They should be in the A piller near the bottom. Just take the rubber or plastic trap off the end and they should drain.
Thanks
Hi where is this located
I am so glad to see that I am not alone. Is Mercedes aware of this issue?
Hi. This is very common problem. The reality is that they are not building mercedes to last. Thats unfortunate.
Yooooo maaaan 😫😫😫😫😫😫 i have the same problem right now I’m about to take out seats and figure out where the water is come from .. my car currently is unresponsive there was water on the floor , behind the driver seat , passenger foot well .. i mean maaaaaad water bro .. thanks for sharing this video bro
Your welcome, I'm glad this video help you.👍
Same i just bought one 2011 and found this out after getting my first car wash💀😞
@@MandoTrades it seem like a lot of people had the same problem with water getting inside. Hopefully this video help you fix your problem.
Battery power is dead and I'm un able get ignition to crank or there's no power reaching the main computer module😢😊
Thank you sir, i had this issue with my Glk since 2020 no Mechanic could fix it instead the Gummed And sealed the top-roof and it’s still happening I’m gonna try this thanks 🙏
Your welcome. I hope this fix your problem👍
You need to remove each wheel and the plastic wheel covers to then clean out the drains. The drain looks like a + sign.. why they made it so small is beyond me. Each corner should have one. Their is another video that shows this process I described above. Forcing it this way may cause other issues but I am not a mercedes tech.. I would rather play it safe. Also, in time, they will clog again so I just plan to open the rest of them up.
Thank you very much for this comment. I have cleared the 2 in front but can't locate the ones for the back. My own problem is the back passenger seat. I have tried to locate the drain for the back floor but it's quite difficult to locate. I am interested in the video you mentioned, kindly share the link if possible. Thank you
I've got this exact scenario going on in my 2010 W212 E63 AMG and it's been driving crazy ! - That panoramic sunroof is such a bad design with gaps everywhere !!... What were the guys at Mercedes thinking when they designed these cars ??, As much as I love the sunroof, If this carries on anymore, and I can't unblock the drains, then the black silicone sealant is coming out and I am sealing the whole damn roof in all the gaps ! - So far I've lost my ESP and my transmission is super jurkey at low throttle more than normal !
BTW - Thanks for the great video man ! 👍👍👍
Hi. I agree bro, the people who designed this cars sucks. They making mercedes so cheap that they star acting up in like 50,000 miles. Thats just crazy. Thanks for watching.
@@hackerskates You're welcome man - All the very best of luck bro 👍👍👍
So am I... I have C300... Same problem.. This is a big problem with design of c300.. The water go directly to electronic parts and all electrical services stopped.
How did you do it
Mine is having same issue
@@frankbernard2702 so what did you do
@@doriawhite771 are you going through same issue ???
This should not be my expense, since this is a Mercedes design issue. I will wait to see if the dealer is shocked to see I have this problem, or if they will acknowledge it is a common issue.
Same just happened with my 2013 C250. Water in passenger side both in front and back. Electrical issues present already. First time it rained and a little got in. Second time and a ton got in speakers stopped working, over head controls and infotainment screen stopped working. Mercedes is quoting 14k for parts and labor. They told me it may cause more electrical issues even if we fix it.
Hi. Thats not good my friend, see i always thought mercedes make a good lasting vehicles and now that I have one I realize they not good, I had alot of problems with my c300 and it just hit 100k miles. Is crazy.
Great information thanks
Could this be the cause of dampness and mold growing on passenger side carpet. I have a 2016 Mercedes glc.
Hi. That's a big possibility my friend
Thanks for your video and advice.
BUT I STRONGLY RECOMEND NOT TO REMOVE THE DRAIN PLUGS or drill a small hole on them, the result will be worse...believe me😢
Hello friend. I agree with you 100%. Thanks for watching
I have a w204, c280, 2008 and ocasionally I find some humidity and little water in the TRUNK !
I've tried everything to find out why that water is there with no results, although its not really much but I don't like it. Sometimes there's humidity in the left side cover of the trunk, but nowhere else... i've poured water from every part of the roof and the trunk lid but nothing happens.
In México city it's rainy season and it rains pretty hard, so I'm concerned about finding what's wrong.
There's no water or humidity anywhere else in the car...
ANY SUGGESTIONS from you guys ?
Greetings from Mexico city (july 8th,2023).
i have the same problem i just noticed it today and i think your video just solved my problem cuz it’s the same way but first it was on my passenger today it was on my driver side 🤦🏻♂️
I'm glad it help my friend😊👍
If you park with trunk facing back the SAM in the rear at the lowest point (under spare tire on right side by drain plugs under fuse box) will short out a lot of electrical systems from water or corrosion. Just terrible MB engineering sadly.
I bet you have leaves or something built up blocking your overflow water reservoirs above the headliner from sunroof plug reservoir. Why? You stated after heavy rain storm you have problems. System gets overloaded and it’s not just the main line that’s plugged but also your water overflow reservoir is likely filled up with crap. It looks like you gave it a good cleaning. How are your electrical systems behaving? Best of luck!
Same car and same problem here. Very disappointed. I have realized that it's not much the air intake in the motor bay area but the sunroof has some type of drainage that after the years the rubber seals become weak and water seeps in through the panels inside the car. You are right about the front but in my case it's even worse through the top of the car. the root of the problem is the sunroof rubber seals.
Sorry to heard that, maybe you can get one of those car covers, that may help.
Hi I have a pool of water in the back seat of the passenger's side. It's the first time I see it and its only in the back seat. I checked the Sunroof seals and they are ok also declogged the water pipe in the front as you showed and it looks ok. Can you please show how you cleaned the drain in the bottom to see if this could be the issue? Thank you very much!
Hi. I'm sorry to hear that you have this water problem. Most likely you have the same problem like the one on the video, open the sunroof and put plenty of water on the drain and if it takes too long for the water to drain, that would tell you that the drains needs to be clean, remember when it rains super hard and the drains are not fully clean, they would overflow and that water is going to end up inside your car. In some cases the drain lines are off and the water will go in your car instead of going in the drain line and that would be hard to fix. Usually the water drains are located in the front and back by the tires on the corner of the mudflaps,(i use mudflap as a reference even if dont have them) if you carefully put water on the drains you should see some water coming from the corner of the mudflap and clean them from the bottom. One thing that would help is if you park the front of your car higher than the back, in case of heavy rain that position would help the water flow to the back instead of gather in the front and overflow your drains.
Can't this be a reason for recall? This is obviously a design flaw.
I agree with you
Chasing this problem on my c350 coupe. Pano roof design is completely different. No drain tubes in the front. It’s driving me nuts and the internet is coming up with nothing..
Same car same problem please Lmk if you ever fixed it
the. drains are clog..and by the wheels
Dude, that C300 is thrashed. ..... too much water in the car. Soon or later, all the electrical modules will be mess up and will end up spending a lot of money to fix them.
Parked my 02 W210 and 09 w211 drive way for a few days when raining last few weeks, No water leaked inside the cabin and all dry like my armpit.
WtF...... those newer MB'S have too much issues with problems, not just a water in the cabin. The newer MB'S are piece of Junk with 100% made of cheap stinky plastic material inside.
No more mb's.... No Mas!
Btw, my 25 years old 98 Honda Accord never leaked since day 1. Never clean or touch the drain tube both on the doors or sunroof. ...
I agree with you bro. The mercedes are very cheap made,specially the new ones. Bro hondas and toyotas will last 3 times more then any car, they just better cars. Personally I'm very disappointed at mercedes benz for making their cars cheap, maybe thats an strategy to burn peoples packets, Who knows. Thanks for watching bro.
@@hackerskatesyeah I feel the same about the bad quality. ... I'm curious if your having issues with an parasitic draw that battery drain oversight? My w211 battery drains from the front seat module and replaced the battery 3 times in last 11 months. The dealer wants $1300 to replace the module. Totally nonsense man... . Any module should last for a lifetime. but I still like this car I mean it just feels good when you press hard lol
No, I haven't had problems with that, but thats another problem with mercedes, they drain the battery more then an average car, is crazy.
@@hackerskates just watched your other video and I'm glad your car is good to go with all that water in the roof.
@@youngjung4361 thank you my friend.
Have the same problem right now, with that said, the water fucked up my gasoline gadge which I can't see whether I have gas un my car or not also I Burned one of my daylight bulbs. My question is looking at this video, was it difficult to remove the carpets completely cause I see that I will have to do the same to get the water that's left in. Would've want to see how did you do that.
Hi. I didn't completely remove the carpet, I just lifted up the front and back passenger side and that wasn't hard I took the plastics around the carpet also removed some screws under the front passenger side. If you are thinking about removing the entire carpet i believe you would have to remove the seats.
@@hackerskates no not necessarily, just the ones on front like you did.
From this same issue a month later my audio doesn’t work. All is working but I can’t hear anything. Do you know what is broken ?
I found this on internet you may have a ( bad Amplifier or bad audio module)
The Amplifier gives us sound from the radio, you need to have the circuit checked
on 08 C300 Mercedes at 165k, not uncommon from Amplifier to fail, but first check power to it
If all speakers quit at same time ,that will be more eveidence of failed amp.
If there is the power to the amplifier after you check it or have it checked it and no sound, then for sure, it will be the amplifier, and all the speakers quit working at the same time, if there is no power to amplifier, then you have to go back from the radio and trace back where power is lost to the amplifier connector because of a defective radio or audio module or wiring short or an open.
It is not uncommon for the amplifier to fail on them. On higher mileage, we see radio and audio modules failing.
@@hackerskates I got the w204 c200 cdi where is the Ampfiler
I have been searching for your specific vehicle, but I can't find the specific location, in some models is located under the passenger sit on the driver side and in some models is in the trunk on the sides by the brake lights. Sorry I couldn't help with that.
@@hackerskates thank you for your help
I have the same exact problem. Water got in and now my speakers don't work. What was the fix for you?
Did the issue ever got fixed?
Hi, yes I fix it, but is always good to keep checking those drains at least ones a year to avoid this issues. Thanks for watching.
This water issue happened to me it reached my trans module and totaled my car
Hi. Sorry to hear that my friend. This a very bad and common problem with this mercedes benz is insane. You paying top dollars for this cars and you find out they are poorly built, is crazy. Thanks for watching
You ruined your car, why don't you open the hole with a thin wire, maybe it would be fixed if you threw the car into the sea
