German engineering poll

[mkii_84@yahoo.com (Andrew Wong)]

Same thing here also, but the water comming in the
floor behind my passenger seat is off and on. 
Sometimes when it doesn't rain for weeks the area is
soaking wet, but lately when it has been raining a lot
in the afternoon that area is as dry as it can be.  My
trunk leaks, but it was b/c of some repair defect that
was there before when my Scirocco was in an accident
before I had it.  My Quantum on the otherhand doesnot
leak at all and it also has a sunroof, but it was only
opened maybe once or twice since the car was bought
brand new.  The 83 Jetta leaked at the windshield and
is a known area of leakage.  The other Sciroccos and
the Eurovan I am not sure of leaking
