Jim 2 Posted July 2, 2003 Hi there, and welcome! Must likely candidate for that would be the door skin / door seal - you might want to check all the way round the door, and actually the skin inside the door to make sure they are all in tact without any splits. You could test the door as being responsible by blasting it with the hosepipe for a minute or two and see what comes in. Anyone else know any possible candidates for this?

CaiosG60 PWR 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Don't know about on a Corrado! Leaky sunroofs of sciroccos cause pudles in back foot well. On the new passat, if a drain hole in the cowling(bulk head shelf, where ecu is) is blocked water some how drains to the rear foot well on the drives side! (happened to my old man) I think what jim says is the most likely as that aplies to pritty much all the VW range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted July 2, 2003 As Jim says, it's more than likely the door skin membrane. Take the door trim off and do as above :) Don't bother getting a replacement membrane from veedub - rip-off! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Vw have stopped making the door membrane, all they give you now is plastic sheeting and double sided sticky tape rather than the proper cut out skin etc! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Well I found when my old valver started leaking that the outer window seal that goes at bottom of window - (the bit you stick you arm on when window down for cool pose :D ) had start to loose its shape and so water was getting in between the window and the seal - this runs down the door and out on to the carpet *:) Have a look *:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 2, 2003 Vw have stopped making the door membrane, all they give you now is plastic sheeting and double sided sticky tape rather than the proper cut out skin etc! You just get a sheet of grey foam and that's it. You have to cut it to shape and supply your own adhesive! I've found it's great stuff if you've got the time and patience and less fiddly than sheets of thin plastic. It also has sound absorbing qualities too.

B5UBA 0 Posted July 3, 2003 yeah scott had a look and thats whats happeninig I THINK, the funny thing is thou there are no trails of water on the side of the carpet,just a patch in the middle. but then again i know it can be awakard finding a fcuking leak.
