Havent noticed this happening yet but havent been out in a serious downpour yet!!

Doesnt sound right if the seats are getting wet. If the rainwater gets onto the carpet this wont do them any good either.

not a good desgin, although i have been thinking there does not seem to be any trim for a roof rack.
this normally would catch any excess water???

yer i noticed the same Scotty,  its cause the doors sit in the pillar of the windscreen and into the roof.  I know on on the mk4 i had, the doors came over the pillar and roof bit and there seal stopped it.


If that makes sense.

I have had this too, it happens on allot of new cars , its due to the new aerodynamics they seem to be using
