Thanks for this detailed thread Autoevo.
Last 2 of these had the issue and both dried out fine but I will now pull the panel back there and cover everything up.
Thanks again.

So I got a 2018 e class coming on Sunday. I did some research on the topic and found out that there are keyless go antennas in doors, in the trunk and under the hood. Now I don't think that getting antennas wet would make these problems. But there is also a keyless go control module located in the right quarter panel under those hard covers and I think that it could get wet easily while doing the back glass, and I think that is making problems. I will try removing those covers and wrapping the module with something so that it doesn't get wet. I will let you know how it goes. If anyone has any new info on the topic I would appreciate it. I have attached picture of that module

OK I have finished the e class and all vent good. First I have removed spare tyre cover, than plastic cover where the trunk latch is located, than rear right quarter panel cover to access keyless go module. There are couple of electronic modules including keyless go on a bracket. There are two screws holdin down the bracket. Unscrewed both of them and pulled whole bracket to the left. I have put plastic bag over the electronics and taped some paper towels around the wires so that water doesnt slide to electronics along the wires. Be careful while removing all plastics in the trunk they are very poor quality. There was a few drops of water im there when I was done with tinting back glass. I do believe that they could cause malfunction od keyless go unit since build quality of that plastic box is really poor and it is not sealed
