Default water leak

My car keeps getting water in the passenger rear floorboard. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? The dealer "can not duplicate at this time".

Can you see where it is coming in? I just checked mine because I washed it not long ago and had major rain yesterday... dry as a bone.

I am speculating that it is the right rear quarter glass. Only guessing here. I really don't know what else could be leaking.

search the S197 2005+ section for "Leaking".

There's a ton of info on possible sources.
Or just look at the bottom of this page under "Related Threads"[:-]

I had the same problem and it went to a big mildew problem so take care of it quickly. There is a seal missing under the right front fender which needs to be removed by a body shop, the seal needs to be placed into position and then the fender needs to get put back on. I took the opportunity to have dynomat underlayment put everywhere and the carpet replaced.

The dealer told me today that they think it is coming in from the bottom of the windshield. They are ordering me a new carpet. We will see.

there are extensive posts on the seal problem and even rumored to be a TSB out now or soon on the subject. I had to print them out to show my dealer
