 :cool: spent some time the weekend , trying to get rid of the misty windows  :wink:
 sealed the rear light using some grease ,on the gaskets and re-did the door membranes with B&Q rubble sacks (nice thick plastic bags) as the originals had shrunk, this seems to have worked a treat , thanks again for the info  :smiley: :smiley:

I had probs with the rear golfGTI badge.  It was letting water in intermittently, and then realised the water was actually sealing the leak itself when I sprayed a hose over it when the car was standing.  When the car moved then the seal broke and water flowed in so took an age to find the flipping leak!
