Possible leaks in the trunk - AF80.00-P-4001-01A
- Leaks at the rear seal of the Vario roof:
Water penetrates in under the seal and over the metal fold into the trunk then drips onto the trim and runs along the longitudinal member and the cables into the PSE pump's connector.
The seal has an elastic sealant in the area of the leak (except for over the metal fold). This might not be sufficient in isolated cases.
Possible causes:
- Seal is too small
- Metal fold is too small
- Metal fold is wavy; the seal cannot compensate for the waves
- Leaks at the water drain hose on the rear fender:
The water runs between the seal and the cutout because there was not enough clearance for the seal as the vehicle was being manufactured.
Possible causes:
- The shell of the vehicle is not within specified dimensions
- The assembly process is faulty; the seal does not snap in
- Cutout is not within specified dimensions
- Seal is not within specified dimensions (groove is too big)
- The fit of the cutout to the seal is too big
- Leaks between Vario roof rear lower seal and trunk seal:
Both are "crossed over" each other. Water penetrates between both of the seals and drips into the trunk.
Possible causes:
- The shell of the vehicle is not within the specified dimensions in this area (especially the metal fold for the trunk seal). The seal "tips" to the side after the trunk lid is closed and therefore does not seal properly.
- The seal for the Vario roof or the trunk is not within specified dimensions
