my car leaks and it still rattles....mad!

no sun roof. just standard 3dr.  and yes the windows were up 


spoken to the dealer. booked in next friday - the 13th

Interestingly they said that if its not the seals then they'll have to send it to the body shop...hmmm... i new perfectly built car and not a hacked one. Anyway, i'll just see what they come back with next week.

good luck

slight tangent, but noticed how there are "soft" seals on the outside of the window?  means that after washing the car, they get wet.  so after i've dried the car, if i wind down the windows and back up, i get a wet window again... plus water marks! 

maybe just a personal view, but i also find it wierd how the door seal at the top of the door is "exposed".

apologies, i don't post much and when i do its been negative. The car is fantastic but...

on the motorway tonight, in the rain, all of a sudden i get a drip on my right arm. water coming through the seal. couldn't believe it. then parked up in teh garage, looked over to the passenger seat and there's a drip of water on the seat too!  ran finger along the top side of the door (inside) and there's water seaping through. both sides. what's the crack?!?!

on top of that. it still rattles. havng a few beers tonight to chill and then ringing the dealers tomorrow after calmed down.

plus i've had a sh1te day at work.

happy days.. )
My Golf MK6 GTI 5 door rattles from the 'B' piller divers side and passanges side and the tail gate, i have been back to the dealer twice and still its rattling
p.s honestly i really like the car.  3dr in white! looks and drives really well!

Rattles and leaks are two of the reasons the Brera has to go bye bye.

Local Alfa dealer has tried several times to sort but sems incapable of doing much; crap stuff, crap dealer.

Best of luck on Friday

@keelaw
i checked the seals this morning and they do appear exposed, plus they were still damp from last night, so can't help but think that at motorway speeds the water was simply pushed through the soft seal?!

hmmm... i've driven on the motorway in the rain before and didn't have any leaks.....

So far its rained everyday since getting the car, not noticed any water/leaks. Though the car is quite misty in the mornings whilst it warms up!!.

Not the sort of thread I want to be reading when I'm about to put £35K down on a car. It's nearly 2010, not 1973 - rattles and especially leaks should be a thing of the past. It's the basics, isn't it?

Well it could be worse ! ....

Another check for the collection checklist - if it gets any longer we may as well do the PDIs ourselves and save a bit of money lol!!

Hi Disco, I see you have a 3dr in White - any pics? I've ordered black and am not sure if ive made the right decision! Could still change as it's a company car and a few of us in work are ordering Gti's!
Thanks
