I am hoping that there is some one out there that can help. I have a 04 2.5TDI, that appears to be allowing water in at high level. Initially, whilst in warranty, water appeared at the upper rear pillars and dripped onto the boot cover(parcel tray!). VW dealer replaced a seal around the rear hatch claiming it was a known problem when the hatch was opened, although it was my belief that water was present without opening the boot or hatch. The leak continued and the car was put into the approved body shop on around five separate occasions, a week each time. They found one leak, that was too low for it to be at the source of my problem. In summary, the problem was never fixed and after repeated correspondence, i have been advised that the car is out of warranty and VW will not support any further claim. My argument is that they never fixed the original problem and i am obviously concerned where else this water is reaching and the damage that it may be causing. Due to the height at which the water appears and the fact that the hatch has been left closed to prove the point, gives me the impression that the water is getting in at the roof rails (which have been used for a cycle rack) and is running about above the liner and appearing at the rear upper pillars/roof lining interface. Has any body had a similar experience or can offer any advice on how to progress this with VW. Many thanks...
