W123 83 300cd Leaking Trunk Lid
I am collecting water in the perforated area on the trunk lid. After a rain, when I open the trunk lid, water start pulling out from the holes in the under portion of the trunk lid, the trunk gasket is fixing good, I cannot figure out where the water is coming from and how it is getting in the perforated area. As soon as i open the trunk lid the water that was collected in the perforated portion of the trunk lid, start pouring into the trunk. I am open to any suggestions, there is no water in trunk well areas.

300-E - Horn not working.
I have a 1991 300E. I just recently purchased this car from a lady, and it needs lots of minor TLC.
Right now I am trying to figure out the horn. I have looked in both of the manuals I purchased for the car online and there is no information on the horns.
I did see some information that suggested you replace them, and silly me I did just that. Also cleaned up the area where they bolt to the frame in front of the radiator. Cleaned the wires up. But no sound comes forth.

Brake lights out on 1991 560SEL
When I turn the light switch to the right to either park or full head lamps, the exterior lamp out warning lights. Also, the brake lights fail to come on when pressing the brake pedal. I replaced all three brake lamps with new lamps with no success. Might this be a brake switch problem? If so, how do I test it?

'85 190E: No auto-stop for window motor
Driver's window works fine except that when reaching the closed position the motor keeps going until you let off the switch. Do I need a new window regulator or some other part? I've already purchased the 201 Door Maintenance and Repair guide, but don't see mention of this issue. Thanks for any assistance you can provide...

86 300SDL Turbo sunroof weatherstrip?
I R&R'd a new sunroof (Tilting)Weatherstrip.
Pretty much straight forward.......except
1: Found 2 rivets loose on back hold down bracket.
short of removing panels(trying to avoid)
any tricks to fixing? I tried a pair of needle nose vice grips, no go
2:The new strip prevents the roof from closing like the old one!
Should I "grease" it with something? If so what?
Thanks

84 300 vibration at 1500 or so
It all started after I had run the car up a mountain with curvy roads. I pushed the car a bit (not to hard)after that it started idling rough. Thought it might be injectors leaking. I changed and set injectors. It ran better. Now it has a rough idle and a strong vibration at around 1500 rpm feels like it vibrates the whole car. Also it seems to be have more valve noise when idling, maybe nailing? adjusted valves 2 times.

Instrument Panel problems
removed functioning instrument cluster in 85 300SD to replace ignition,
when instrument cluster was replaced the temperature gauge doesn't register accurate - it jumps immediately to maximum heat. Also suspicious that fuel
gauge is registering incorrectly. Any suggestions?
