Wow, I definitely didn't think about the channels through the chassis. I'm gonna investigate mine hopefully this week to see. Great job and thank you so much for that insight.
I had the same problem with my first gen skoda Fabia,,The seals would fail on the rear doors and let water in ,,,They all suffered with this problem,,,,A fantastic way to get the carpets 90 percent dry in just 5 mins,,,,Here in Ireland we have co op stores that supply farmers with everything and anything they need,,,I'm sure England has something the same,,,Just get the largest cow syringe you can find ,,,,without the needle part,,,push it down into the carpet and suck,,,,,You won't believe the amount of water you can extract from a carpet,,I'm sure you can also get these syringes on line,,
Won't really do it.... water gets trapped underneath the carpet (which is plastic) and insulation (closed cell plastic foam). No other choice but to pull the interior unfortunately... THEN use an industrial dehumidifier.
Best way to get that carpets to dry is through a ground sheet or seat covers on the floor do the same on the top and drive over it foam traps water and it doesn't like releasing it even with a breeze. Guess ya body shop bay doesn't have an oven
On vw it'll be the mastic on the rear doors ,,you must take the door cards off and you'll see a plastic type material with silicon or mastic type stuff sealing it,,,This fails,,Just get a silicon gun and some TEC 7 and seal it ,,,,

Small dehumidifiers out of curry’s/argos are fantastic for drying out the carpets. Love the videos Baz.

Great job, really impressed with your attention to detail in these jobs.
Cheers buddy 🤙
I thank you for making this video, i have to do this job on my own a class and makes it alot easier when i can just follow what you do
Good work once again.
Thumbs up 👍
😂😂😂 baz want to buy a couple of gold fish 😅😅😅 ha h good video that you done a cracking job 😊
very good mechanic. how much did this cost?? and where are you?
Nice 1. I have 2 customers with those cars. I ask them to keep eye out for wet carpet.
The white silicon will eventually fail,,,if you want it to last forever use TEC7,,,
Not tiger?
One would expect this to happen to a cheap car, like a Dacia or so... but no, it's a Mercedes. Mercedes isn't what they used to be...
Good job massive job that. I bet the customer had to sit down after seeing the labour bill after all of that 😂
It's not bad tbh
Cheers how much was it? I want to get mine done
great video baz wow im surprised merc havent done a recall on that then?? just to ask the labour charge for this and cost is it over £500?
Laser do proper sockets for those bumper studs to remove the nuts i brought them 👍👍👍
Baz bit of a long shot but dont suppose you have the Part Number for the rear Air vents please behind the Bumper?

I did everything as in the video, but the water continues to seep in 😕
Ive done thos job before,if I remember rightly the vents are only £20 each...
I’m having the same problem in my 2013 A200… where can I get mine fixed in UK
Baz is that launch diagnostic tab 3 or the company's is it good as the AUTEL
The launch tab3 is also an insane price,,,,,6500 pounds,,,
Do you think mk7 golf could have same issue Baz?? Got one with rear footwells wet like a focus you did👍

Bit of a rigmarole for what is a Mercedes design flaw !🤨 Good video though !
