I don't have the problem with water anymore since I have the 911 style hardtop conversion and that eliminates water issues (still need the drain pans to be in good shape with this hardtop)

I would just like to add: There are also drains in the cowling that have to be kept free flowing.

i wound up filling the hole with goop, letting it dry fully, and covering with the flashing tape
it turns out the thing under the drivers seat is the rear control module. i ordered a new one and the waterproof box, we'll see

I just read a post here or on Rennlist that said the company that does immobilizer work sells a box that seals watertight. Hope that helps. I need to look into that too. Worst design feature.

I will tackle that when it is warmer. I already sourced grommets for Mercedes that have a great design, water can flow immideatly outside with no need of accumulation. The need a hole of exactly 19mm diameter which I will perform with a crown drill. Corrosion protection of course.

It will secure the home of M534 against malicious events, of course, this does not obviate the need for regular drainage checks...



Btw, the cheapest way to source them is directly from a Mercedes dealer, the number is all you need

I used this in mine. It's a Porsche 911 headlight bucket drain tube.


Part number 911.631.259



I used a butyl-based sealant to protect the bare edge after drilling.
