Water leaks in Mercedes SLK200 boot.

[DonDonny]

My wife's SLK200 has developed a bad water leak into the Boot.
The seals around the rear window and the seal around the boot lid are old and do need replacing.
Mercedes Main Dealership will replace every seal in the roof and boot, with brand new Mercedes Seals (over £800) and want over £2000 for the job + VAT.
Yes we know the job is fiddly, we have watched the seals being replaced on YouTube, but surely there is a Mechanic/Fitter somewhere in Surrey or West Sussex, near Crawley, who could tackle this job and get paid cash for doing it.
They could fit good reconditioned seals from EBAY, or seals from a wrecked SLK car, she just wants the amount of water entering the boot to be reduced or if possible totally eliminated.
We have tried many local to Crawley, West Sussex garages and we cannot get anyone other than the expensive Mercedes Garage to take on the job.
Is there nobody out there who can do the job at a more reasonable price?, please let us know if there is, thanks Don

Yes the first thing I did was to clean them out, but the leak is much worse then that.

Sorry folks but we are getting old but still fairly active, but we are not strong enough to repair cars, we are both retired and today (Don) is my 86th Birthday, as you can see my wife is younger than me.
We just need technical help at a price we can afford.

Thanks we are now trying Cayman Autos as one of your guys suggested, but they would have to collect and return the car, so they probably would not be interested.
Will keep on trying, thanks again Don

Thanks we haven't been out since 7th March. Its not an issue to you young folk, but if we catch this dreaded virus it is a death sentence.
So we decided to keep in doors. apart from a short drive around to keep both our Mercedes cars batteries up and running.
Hope that explains our situation, by the way Cayman Autos are not taking in water leak problems at the moment, due to their staff situation, so we are on their short list for when they re-start.
