Hi folks,
I have been a member here for a while but this is my first post. I was after a little help with a leaky roof and don’t know which is the best category to post in.........
I have owned my 2010 Cali for the last 5 years, I love it even though I had the CFCA engine problem at 50k miles so £5k on a new engine (I think this why the guy sold it to me in the first place.....should have done more research....), just had a new mechatronic unit fitted (£3k) but gear box still clunky as you like (back in to DSG specialist for this) ......on the plus side had the roof corrosion fixed on warranty
I am getting the damp patches on the head lining on both sides by the grab handles.
Pulled down the head lining and used copious amounts of blue paper roll to spot water leaks.
I have cleaned the drain tubes as advised everywhere they are fine, run water on the windscreen seals and also on the wedge holding the pop top motor and these all seem fine with the roof up. when I put the roof down it seems to leak in......
It is getting in and dripping from the metal roof bracket just forward of the drain hole connector and running down the A pillar in the well described way.
I have identified these two rubber grommets (photo below) at the end of the roof seal (fixed to the outside van roof, running parallel to the windscreen) and think maybe they are leaking when compressed by the roof?
has any one got any experience with this problem and could share any solution?
thanks in advance!
