Andrew, I don't think that that is a job you will want to do
yourself as it gets involved. First you have to remove the
plastic pieces on the interior above the windshield and around
the top of the doors and then you need to remove the headliner.
This is required to replace either the front
Try blowing out the four sunroof drains.
My LF sunroof drain was blocked, leading to water entering the driver's
front side panel and dripping on the emergency brake pedal. Blew out the

Yup, and remove the battery tray to do it; the acid rusts out the tray then

Pull the rear seat bottom and see if you can identify any water incursion
through the area.
123s and 126s were prone to this sort of leak as well.

It's been a while since I have pulled a rear seat on a W114/115, but if its
like others of the same vintage, at the bottom leading edge on each section of
the seat there is a metal tab with a red plastic cover that you press down to
release it.
If not, there could be a small wire U with a bolt
Or just push the bottom of the seat near the catch to the rear and pop
it loose (might not work that way, but that is kind of a standard
attaching arrangement). Usually there is a U-bolt sort of thing on the
seat and a plate on the floor with a little round recess for the U-bolt
