UPDATE: I located a new genuine Mercedes gasket for the sunroof opening and
replaced it. After the next heavy rain the water still entered the front
passenger's wheel. I noticed when I sprayed a stream of water from a garden
hose around the closed sunroof gasket within a minute there is

Why does this surprise you? You already proved that water poured
into the drain channel gets where it's not supposed to. The sunroof

This whole story just makes me sad. The car is only ten years old--it
shouldn't be leaking water (barring poorly-repaired accident damage or
something like that).

Lots of water goes down those drains, the gasket does not seal the
roof panel, it just closes the gap up to prevent wind noise and direct
the water to the drains.
You have a plugged or corroded through drain pan.

Can you see the drain from above? Could you take a funnel with a hose and run
it
down into the drain? If you poured a gallon of water down the drain and it
ended
up in the car you'd know the drain was the problem, no other

Great idea! I can see
It's a 99, so sliding/pop-up, and its the gasket that fills the gap between the
steel of the roof and the edge of the glass.
Mine keeps dislodging at the passenger rear corner.

IIRC, the gasket around the sun roof is not really expected to keep water
out, the drains

Thanks for all the help.

How much of a pain was that gasket to swap?
I've got a 99 E300
If it's like most it's a simple pull off/press in process. Some of the earlier
models that use the fuzz around the openings rehire that to be screwed in.

Has the battery been disconnected? It may be like the feature where the auto
