[scirocco] leaks

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

My 16v had that problem. Living in wet NY didn't help either. Slight dampness/drip when driving, go to stop and a stream of water ends up in my lap. Usually cold water too. The passenger side was worse though, they really got dumped on. Nothing like getting to work all soaking wet.

Seriously though, I don't even have a rear-view mirror in mine, but the
'hit-the-brakes-and-get-the-back-full-of-water-from-the-sunroof' shit is
getting old.....so I keep it in the garage....too bad the truck leaks too
and I prefer to keep it in the garage since it's the baby....

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.

They ALL F#@!ING LEAK.

The Scirocco....the Sportruck.....the other Scirocco......luckily the
trailer is missing the 'leaky' parts, so my drum set stays dry.....but I
digress...


THEY ALL LEAK.

Doesn't it rain in Germany?
I know it may not rain every day there like it does here in sunny(hahaha)
Florida, but jeez....it's like they didn't even consider H2O when making
these things.....

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.
