Isn't the other leak point the roof antenna mount? Leaks into the headlining.
Yes, I’ve seen it mentioned on a few forums.
@Vw80; I’ve put a list of possible sources of water ingress on the mk7 Golf that have cropped up over the years on various mk7 Golf forums. Some of these have already been mentioned in this discussion thread, but thought it might be useful as a checklist to help you track down the cause of the damp, musty smell which IMO means moisture is getting in somewhere.
As @Carbon VW has said, it’s possible for the carpets to be dry to the touch, but the sound deadening underlay could be soaking up water and be damp, causing the musty smell. Do you get condensation issues inside your car? - that would also be a tell tale sign of water ingress.
List below items in no particular order;
1. Blocked pollen filter.
2. Cars with sunroof - blocked sunroof drain pipes.
3. Damaged / broken door speaker seals, resulting in water draining into the foot wells.
4. Damaged / poor fitting door or window seals.
5. Damaged / perished grommet on the bottom of the drain pipe from the hatch release handle.
6. Damaged / cracked rubber sleeving covering the wiring from the car into the tailgate.
7. Poor seal between the tailgate hinges and where they’re attached to the body shell above the tailgate opening.
8. Damaged rubber washer between the roof and roof mounted aerial.
9. Damaged or perished seal(s) between the rear light clusters and the car body.
10. A/C drain tube becoming detached from the evaporator, draining into car interior rather than on the ground outside the car
11. Water ingress via vents in the lower rear quarter panels either side of the boot behind rear bumper cover.
12. Replacement windscreen not bonded correctly to car body shell.
13. Blocked drainage hole in windscreen scuttle panel.
As @Carbon VW has said, a valet won’t really achieve anything, other than maybe temporarily mask the damp smell - IMO the solution to the damp smell is to find the source of the problem and fix it.
