Water leak
« on: 29 May 2013, 18:59 »
Anyone had this?







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 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.

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.
