Trunk leak - Benzworld.org

I just got a new trunk seal put in so I'm pretty sure its not coming from that. What else could the problem be in a 300SD?

Rear window seal between body and seal is actually the most common place for water to enter the trunk. Look to the lower corners of rear windscreen.

I read heppsens. post exactly how much did it cost and were you abel to do it yourself or did you go to a mechaninc.

I'm going to do it myself with the help of a friend to remove the screen. That way I know any rust will be properly fixed. A new screen seal is about $50 Australian. I could get a smash repair shop to do it but am worried that they won't stop the rust from reappearing, so have decided to do it myself.
