My C140 never had any water leak into the area in question (yes, the PSE
pump on the C140 is located in the same area under the rear passenger side
seat). It's been through quite a few downpours too.

We have 2 140's. In our experience the answer is a steady zero.

I think the question is whether the shop left the car outdoors with something
open, or whether the water was there all along but the shop had the misfortune
of being in possession when expensive electrical components died from it.
Somebody at the shop knows the true answer, but they'll say
None. Never seen or heard of a 140 with a sunroof leak yet unless it was left

It's possible that the shop is at fault but I don't think that proving it will

I was friends with the local Circuit County Court Judge for a number of years.

I should have been a bit more specific in my question [you know how
imprecise we liberal arts majors can be]. The drains around that
sunroof should easily handle all of the water that comes in from the
sunroof [I believe all of them leak]. With the torque on the body
while driving I don't think
Did you check around the back glass seal? Not saying that was it, but
that is occasionally a weak point for water leakage into the trunk/back
seat area on these cars (in general). My suspicion is that someone
drove the car around, left a window down, it rained a lot, and it pooled
back
Are the electronics up front (center console) ok or did the dealership replace
parts there too? nbsp;From the shops perspective, I would question the sunroof
being the source IF the only water found was under the rear seat. nbsp;It
doesn't seem possible that water would not be under the front
It would be a simple calculation atnbsp;http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/sc2.html
Try their calculator with the dimensions of your sunroof opening.

Somebody (Rich?) sent me a white 13 iBook a couple of years ago to check out.
I wasn't able to at the time since I didn't have a power supply for it.
I just found it in my stuff while unpacking.
If you're the owner and want it returned, drop me a PM and I'll get it on the

And if the owner doesn't need it any more I would be interested in buying it
if the price is right.

Tie rods are the same, drag link and bushings are the same, but ball
joints are MUCH more work and you have to deal with the possbility of
worn out thrust links on the W126 rather than a simple control arm

I need to look at the suspension bits and the relevant manual sections,
and order the parts I guess. I did the 123 front suspension, it was
pretty straightforward, though I did take the ball joints to a mech to
