    Leaky 300SD

    During heavy rain the floor in my '85 300SD get soaked. I read that the
    windshield seal could be a problem. The seal, or weatherstrip or
    whatever it is has gaps in it, I can stick a screwdriver inside, between
    the strip and the windshield. I was told that that is normal (??), is
    that true? Doesn't it have to be completely sealed up? Also, at the two
    bottom edges of the windshield there is some openings at both ends of
    the rubber seal/strip where a finger can be inserted beneath the
    windshield bottom, does that have to be sealed up?

    Besides the sunroof, where else should I look for the source of this
    leaking, all floor wells get soaked.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Be sure the cowl's water drains are not clogged. These will be under the
    hood, on the firewall.

    Yes, they drain fine. Could it be that the windshield seal (that the windshield sits
    on) is broken and letting water through?

    Thanks

    Of course the windshield could be the cause, I wanted to be sure
    something simple (and free) wasn't the cause.
