roof aerial?

Try pushing on the rear light(s) with your body weight and one hand, while tightening up the screws with your other, pushing your weight over each screws area in turn. I found mine had managed to untighten because I hadn't screwed them up enough while cleaning moss out from behind my rear lights, so seal was fine, but a rather large gap

cheers chaps will have  a look at both of them options

is it a sunroof model? some older cars channel leaks to the rear of the car. check the roof lining for signs of dampness.

[brett]

Pickup a pair of new seals from VW they are not expensive also do not overtighten the bolts as you will crack the light.

yeah be careful with the tightening as you can snap the studs too. I have had the same problem. the foam seal seems to act like a sponge and soak in the water and then release it into the boot.
