Golf/GTI VI :: Condensation In The Rear Tail Lights

So I've been using the rear window spray a lot since it's been snowing and the salty water/snow/air has covered the rear window a lot and I've been notice water dripping into the rear when I open the hatch but previously thought it was just some snow that melted in/around the hatch area and was dripping. Today I noticed both tail lights that are on the hatch have condensation in them. When I popped the plastic covering on the hatch that you use to replace the bulbs, I noticed there was the blue spray fluid. So I removed the two tail light and I can't seem to figure out how to get the bit of water out of the white and red parts. Do the lens come off any way? I now realize the leaky rear spray thing is a common issue and just ordered the two stupid 50 cent pieces that costs 31 with shipping from ECS

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Water Condensation In Tail Lights / Spare Tire

I have water in my Jetta's tail lights and its really annoying. I just had them both out on the weekend and checked out the foam gaskets and they were both fine but i replaced them with an older pair I had that looked in even better shape but basically the same condition...

Rained pretty hard last night and now there is like more water in them then before... I made sure I tightened them down good because they were not that tight when I originally took them off.

There is water condensation in my spare tire well and making my carpet wet and starting to fog up my rear windows..

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: 2013 - Condensation In Tail Lights?

At 4800 miles I noticed condensation, moisture, or water in my tail lights assembly , I took it in for my first check up, provided pictures, the engineers at lexus said this was normal. I said mosture causes corrosion, may cause a short becauce water is a conductive element, and when it dries it will leave contaminates on the inside of the lights, they said all cars have this issue. I explained the my last 8 cars did not have this issue and I have put aftermarket headlights and tail lights on 2 my cars and they did not have this issue. Well the coversation didn't go well, I said if its so common how come its not in the manual, or a disclaimer on the car, what if I told buyers on your lot this was a common issue. I closed with letting them know it was time to let this be known. I also said just like the headlight issue's they will have to do something. The next day they called me and said they would change out the lights this one time. I am sure this not the last time this issue will be seen, the engineering at lexus is just too proud and hate to admit when they have a bad designed until law suits or deaths happen.

Golf V R32 :: Little Condensation In HID Headlights?

I bought my CW r32 yesterday(#2746) . When got home I noticed that I had a little condensation in both hid headlights. Is this normal or should I be worrying? Also, I don't no how to use my iPod when put in the arm rest dock. My dealer said to "put it in cd mode then plug in your ipod, then it should play". This didn't work for me. I also found a inch1/2 scratch on my left headlight.

Golf V R32 :: Condensation In Tail Light

I took my car into the dealer and got the mech unit replaced. I drove it home in the rain and when I parked it I noticed bad condensation in the driver side tail light.I have never noticed this before and do not no if it was there when I bought it. Anyways, I did some research about the issue and I found that it is a common problem. I have read that it is normal because it is vented and others say take it to the dealer and get it fixed?

Golf V R32 :: Condensation In One Tail Light

I just notice some condensation in one of my tailights.

There's been some snow and ice lately and I'm wondering if that's what caused it.

Is there anyway I can get rid of it? Is it from the water getting through the gaskets/seals?

Golf/GTI VI :: Condensation On Inside Of Windshield

As stated in the title I'm having condensation on the inside of the windshield, but I only notice it when I get off work and go out to start my car (I work second shift and get off at 11:30pm) but when i go out in the morning or afternoon I don't notice any. I pretty much roll everywhere with my windows up so I'm not getting rain in it other than when i open the doors to get in and out.

Golf VI R :: Condensation In Center / Third Brake Light

My Golf R has had this issue (I didn't see much from searching). I have a significant amount of condensation in my third brake light so I called the service department at my local VW dealer and basically was told that this is normal and they won't replace under warranty. They claim the light is vented which allows for moisture to build up. This seems like a bit of a design flaw though and would eventually cause some or all of the LEDs to burn out in the light.

Golf/GTI VII :: Condensation Inside Headlights On Cold Mornings

My brand new gti with the lp is forming condensation inside the headlights on cold mornings! I have seen a few threads about this, but I'm planning to get a hold of vw because I hate the dealerships and they all basically suck once you've bought the car.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Drip Spots Under Car - Condensation From The A/C System?

I have noticed that I have been getting some drip spots under my car whenever I am parked. This has only started happening in the summer. I got under there and dabbed my finger in the discharge and found it to be odorless, clear, and not viscous. Basically, I think it is just water. Could this just be condensation from the A/C system? It has been dripping under the passenger side right under the firewall.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Condensation On Inside Windows When GTI Sitting In Driveway Unused

My Gti has been sitting in my driveway unused for a couple months now. The condensation in it has been unusually heavy when parked. The carpet is dry, doesn't smell damp inside, no coolant smell. Windshield was replaced 2year ago never had a prob with it so idk if it's that that's leaking, but what would the signs of that be? But what I really think it could be is that my recirculating flap is stuck closed. Could that be it?
