Wet pse solved

R170s are known to suffer from water getting at the pse in the boot.


Having suffered this since the start of winter, where removing, emptying (water poured out like pop from a can), dismantling and drying.
Unplugging drain holes and gummi pflegging seals. Twice.


It looks like the cure has happened by luck, plus the above.


Over the holidays I had the top down a few times. This, along with drain holes and Gummiing the seals, looks to have solved the problem.


It's stood in heavy rain and yesterday got driven in hard rain and floods.
The boot floor is bone dry.
There is some residual damp in the boot, but a wipe down and some sunshine 'should' resolve this.


I was at the point of repainting the seal on the boot lid, replacing the main seals and dismantling everything to check for damage elsewhere.


But the SLK has sorted itself.


So if you've a wet pse pump start with gummi, drainholes and operating the roof a couple of times.
Cheapest fix you'll get.
