It doesn't look that bad but this was after I had driven home and the water had dried out a bit. The water runs in when I pulled out parking space, second day in the trot.

I'm having an absolute nightmare with this at the minute. I'm awaiting a response from the garage today but they are getting nowhere, at the minute I don't think it's anything to do with their skills.
They are less than impressed with the build quality. I haven't seen any of it yet, but from what I can gather the inner door panel is held on with a combination of ally rivets and the plastic push in type so it can't really hold the inner panel up against the door with any conviction allowing the water to "piss" in.
I'll let you know what happens later, hopefully :smiley:
-
not that I've noticed, but it did happen on my mk4 and is a common fault. I will go out to check and report back.

No, but till recently I was getting water leaking in at top of rear passenger door. After rain, water would run off roof and leak in at top of window seal, the felt was always very wet. No problems on other doors.
Seems to improve radically when I wax the car, paying extra attention where window meets roof, and haven't had issues since but will monitor it.
-
I remember a post a while ago where wind noise around the doors required new rubber seals under warranty. Could be the seals distorted?
-
I'm gonna call in at vw tomorrow and get them to send details to Germany to see if its a common issue. I'll report back asap. Cheers Ginge

I think the only thing VW acknowledge is an excess of water draining out of the botom of the doors, for which case the answer to customers is TADTS. There seems to be no evidence of this being a problem in their eyes
The garage still hasn't got to the bottom of my problems yet.
-
Ive got this fixed on warranty...sure VW wanted something like £165 per door...told them where to go and that they will do it under warranty as its not a wear and tear part....got it done free....Result
-
Got my car back today. The parts replaced were outer door seal, the window regulator panel also the mounting adaptor for the speaker had cracked allowing water to pass through there as well.
I'll update as and when to see if it's sorted. To be honest if it isn't I've no idea what to do next.

Good Evening Gentlemen,
Sorry to drag this up again, does any one know the part numbers for the seals that have to be replaced/ repaired to fix this issue.
I have a three door GTI VI. which has this problem on the passenger door.
I know some of you have access to the VW maintenance diagrams, is there a diagram on the door assembly showing these parts?
My car is still under warranty but the dealer has been less than useless on this.
Best Regards
Keith.

Wow amazed this is still a problem with VWs.
They must not fix any of there design issues!
I currently have the inner door panels off my 2005 leon as it's leaking in identically to this.
It is caused by the seal between the inner door panel that the window motor is mounted too and the door itself.
The sealing stuff is much cheaper off ebay as its just a butyl sealing strip and is about £12 for enough to do all 4 doors.
-
Hi Snoopy,
Thanks for replying, do you have more information on the sealing strip required? i.e. size and profile.
Best Regards
Keith.

Ive not had the golf tobits so not 100% sure what they used on the mk6. On the mk4 and leon it was a foam seal that deteriorated. The dealer replaced this with a rubber seal that costs something stupid like 150 a door. What most dealers did is what im going to do and use on the leon. If you search butyl sealing strip on ebay you will find many. You just cut it too length.

Thats what im following for the leon but the mk6 inner panel is plastic rather than thin tin of the mk4/leon.
-
Thanks very much Snoopy.
I'll get the bits ordered and finally fix the problem.
Best Regards
Keith.

Does any one know the torque setting for the bolts that secure the inner plastic door panel?
Best Regards
Keith.
