Does anyone have a source for MK1 taillight gaskets?

If you have a sunroof, that's where your leaks are coming from for behind the seats. Otherwise I'm guessing door seals or the rear side window seals. For tail lights, I know they sell sheets of cork gaskets, maybe they do that with rubber as well. Adirondack or Potter might also have a set kicking around somewhere. In a pinch, the foam window insulation (from Home Depot, comes in a roll and used for sealing extra space in window sills) works great. I ran it all around my hatch and it worked great. Very flexible/moldable, sticks well and seals nicely. Good luck, leaks suck.

It's been awhile since I have written to you all, as my relationship with my '81 Scirocco S has been peaceful lately... at least until the rainy season in Portland started up again and the leaks that I thought I had fixed last spring magically reappeared. :-\ It seems that the taillight lens gaskets are a major culprit for the leaks in the hatch, and before I go gumming up half the rear of the car with silicone, thought I'd see whether any of you knew of some aftermarket /OEM suppliers of the proper gaskets.

Besides that, can anyone with experience in this area tell me the most likely spot for massive leaks on the carpet right behind the front seats? It's like a swamp, and please don't say the door skins, because they have been changed - not once, but twice. It just HAS to be from somewhere else... could it maybe be all coming from the hatch somehow?

TIA and happy holidays,
Courtney
