[scirocco] leaks

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

mike mine did that leak from the top, easy solution is reverse the split of
the seal atop of the hatch and start the split above your licence plate
(seriously) and the leak wil stop...

mine used to leak straight down between rear panel and rear seats right
there... into the trunk... not anymore.!

=>Ummm.... yeah!  Really, though, I don't mind the leak, but am
=>tired of having my windows constantly fogged up and since the
=>rear defroster isn't working currently... I drove 2 hours to work
=>this morning and was never able to see anything behind me.  The
=>question still stands:  where can I get seals cheap?  BTW, it's
=>leaking from the top of the hatch, right by the third brake light.

=>I've known for a long time that my car has leaked. Sometimes after a heavy
=>rainstorm, I'd go out and find the driver's side floor a marsh. For some
=>reason, I always thought it was coming in the hole where my Scirocco badge
=>used to be. Well, a couple of months ago, I bought some grommets and
=>reattached the badge and redid the others with new grommets (they were
=>falling apart anyway). Thus, I thought my leak problem was solved. Not so,
=>I discover this morning. While backing out to take the boy to his
=>bus stop,
=>I turned to look behind me and saw a drip. Grrrr.... It's dripping from
=>the rear hatch. Bad seals? Where can I get some new ones and are they easy
=>to do?
=>
=>Also, anyone know where I can get one of those sockets for oil filters?
=>They fit on the end of the filter and hook to a socket wrench. I'd love to
=>have one of those, would make my life easier as I'm changing the oil every
=>month. (500 miles/week)
=>
=>Thanks,
=>Mike

=>ps. This morning, while reading the list mail, I realized I had a dream
=>about the upcoming Mini-Cincy. All I remember is arriving and asking if I
=>was the only (or first) red scirocco and the reply was: You're the only
=>scirocco. Weird. Too bad I won't be able to attend.
