I'll start off by saying that I know where my water leak is coming from but I have a couple of questions.

At first I thought it was either coming in the front drivers side door or the bulkhead area but I cleared out the bulkhead today which wasn't really all that bad and removed the door card for the second time ( I have the common central locking issue aswell but that's in hand ) but it was still dry.

So still unsure of where it was coming from I was inside the car after soaking the drivers side down with a hose and noticed a small puddle forming at the bottom of the drivers side rear door so I removed the door card and acts feet g it a few more times I noticed it coming in through the door handle and also through the seal at the bottom of the window but is particularly bad where the two rear windows split and is dripping down the metal devider quite a lot. Also both front and rear door do not have membrains.

So my questions are

Can the membrains be bought separately from the dealer?

The rear seal I assume you can buy and I will but where it leaks the most down the metal devider the seal has a gap either side because there is no cut out for the metal bar so won't the new seal just leak here the same as the old one?

The rear handle I'll remove once I've found a guide and have a shot at making water tight again with some sealer unless anyone has a better solution?

Thanks in advance folks.

or just use a big bit of dpm with holes cut in it for the relevant cables etc

 

duck tape and jobs a goodun

I never knew about that website thanks for introducing me to it but I was thinking today some plastic sheet would do the job and probably work out a hell of a lot cheaper.

Unfortunately I can't see the window seal I'm after. Are parts on there cheaper than from a dealer or generally the same price?

Generally cheaper, you just have to bare in mind the £6.50 delivery charge. I always wait if I can and get quite a bit to justify the p&p. [emoji3]

Could come in handy for my other VAG cars too!

Decent heavy plastic will do for the membranes.. and they are vital :thumnup:
