Several forums discuss the difficulty of repairing this leak. The mechanical steps are simple enough, the real challenge is creating a lasting seal. Has the silicone continued to work for you? Any updates after several months of use?
I’m wondering the same thing. I am going to be using a product I have use for many other things. I think is really spectacular. It is made by ChemLink and it is called “M-1 Universal adhesive & sealant.” I will be very surprised if it ever leaks, but if it does, I will certainly post an update… The only problem is that I doubt that I will be able to lift this plastic piece once it dries. My alternative idea is to use Dicor self-leveling lap sealant. It is used for trailer roofs. It never hardens, and it would be easy to remove later, I just don’t know how permanent the seal would be…
thanks charlie god bless you
Great job John! Due to your video, ill be able to fix mine, maybe even this weekend!

Great video. I was wondering, do you know the dimension of the hole? I was wondering if I could remove the AC unit and fit a Maxxair fan in there...
No the hole is too big Maxx air fans are 14x14

@@kienanmaxfield6288 No problem since, not one leak and it’s 2022….
Bead has lasted beautifully, so 3-4 years…
Thanks! How did you know it was leaking? Where did you notice the water?
Thanks for sharing!! Did you have to evacuate the refrigerant? Now after watching I have more confidence to fix my leak👍👍👍🤙🏾🤙🏾
Wondering the same thing
No, you can leave that in tact.
What year is this van?
Is it necessary to empty the refrigerant?
No
Did Mercedes Benz fix this problem on 2016 models or should I start putting some silicone beads on mine before it starts leaking?
@Tyler Dallas Any luck with the law suit? My 2017 leaks. Dealership have tried fixing this twice and the problem remains.
My 2018 is leaking. Does anyone know if what years the recall include??
'14 is leaking.
