My 78 240D has had a water leak into the rear passenger footwell for quite some
time now. Since the front window seal was replaced this past spring, I’ve come
to the conclusion that it’s probably being caused by the notorious rust hole
under the battery tray which plagues even rust free w123s.
I have never had a 123 so tell me, where is the battery and why does the
leak show up in the back seat area? Is the battery not under the hood? I
know on some of the newer cars, it is under the back seat, but I did not
think that to be the case on the 123.

If it is similar to a regular 123, there is one screw that holds it in.
If it has a plastic "pocket" under the latch, you need a sharp stick, or
a small screwdriver, etc to pull that out from its catches. Then you
will see the screw. Release rod is just held on with a clip. Easy!
