Passat (B5) :: Trunk Water On Right Side?

I have water in my trunk. It seems to be more on the right side (the passenger side) but if it rains hard enough it gets all over the trunk. Because both of my key fobs have dead batteries I haven't gone into the trunk in about 2 weeks so now its all moist and smells like a dirty fishtank in there. I even had a small piece of plywood in there that is now warped and moldy. I've seen some threads that talk about a drainage tube that runs from the sunroof to the trunk? Where in the trunk would I find this drainage tube? That would turn me off VWs forever. Just when i thought the Passat was the best car I ever had. I was planning on having this car another 5 years.

Passat (B5) :: Water In Passenger Side Floor Board - Leaking Sunroof?

We have had 6-8 inches of rain in the last month. the last several days I have notice a lot of water in the passenger side floorboard as well as behind the seat. the headliner around the sunroof is also saturated on that side of the car. After several hours investigating and reading posts on this forum it is safe to say that the drain on that side is clogged. I am a new VW owner and am ignorant as to where the drains are at??? also, how to "rod" or unclog the drain line that runs down a or c pillar?

Passat (B7) :: 2013 SE - Water In Trunk Lid

On Tuesday evening we had some torrential downpours in my area. Yesterday when I went to open my trunk after work yesterday to collect my bag from work there was water coming from behind the plastic cover inside the trunk lid. I think I narrowed it down to the two tail lights that are installed in the trunk lid. The gasket on the passenger side looks deformed. Mine is a 2013 SE.

Prius (2001-03) :: Water Leak In Trunk / Dripping From Left Side

For a while now I have been getting water in the trunk of my old 2001 Prius. Its dripping from the left side (driver's side) cutout in the upper part of the trunk.

I tried resealing the rear window and I am confident there is no openings there. The only thing I can determine is that I need to replace the trunk gasket. Having a hard time finding a replacement seal for that model, 2001 Prius?

Passat (B5) :: 2001 - Water In Trunk / Damp Carpet

I have a 2001 B5.5 passat saloon and I'm getting water in the trunk, damp carpet and water in the spare wheel well. It seems to be mainly on the left side (as you look into the trunk) I've checked the rear light seals and can't find any evidence of a leak, where else should I look?

Passat (B5) :: 1998 - Water Drip From Trunk Latch

Over the last couple of months, my '98 Passat 1.8T Sedan has started to show an annoying habit, in addition to the multiple other ones of which I will never solve.

After it has rained and things have dried up pretty well everywhere, if I open up the trunk, a stream of water always drips down from the latch. It gets pretty annoying when I have things in the trunk. I have looked everywhere on the trunk lid hoping to find a location of ingress - nothing. I made sure the channels on the side of the trunk are clear of debris too.The water does not seem to be collecting in the receptacle (on the bumper) for the latch either. It is somehow collecting in the lid. I once had a cracked license plate light holder cover, so I replaced that thinking the problem would be solved. No luck.

The only other thing I have noticed is that over the last week twice after trying to open the trunk with the handle, the handle would not release properly ( it would move up and get stuck and the trunk would not open). When I wiggled the handle, it would pop back down and then I could open it properly. The two things are probably not related.

How to solve the water drip from the latch, or at least, where the water is coming from?

Passat (B6) :: 2008 - Water Leak Into The Sides Of The Trunk?

=I have a Passat TSI 2.0 08 (48.000 Km) and since the begining of the raining season I have noticed that the basis of the lining of the lateral is soaked after rain. In order to investigate it bertter, I have removed the lining and did some tests with water. I came across a problem with the gasket and that hose that drains the water. It looks like the gasket is a little bit loose to press the hose in such a way it insulates its base avoiding water leaking into the trunk. Thus the water rolls outside the hose down to the trunk sides.

Prius (2004-09) :: Driver Side Floor Pan Seems Wet, Water Leaking

The wife's 2008 Prius has apparently been collecting water on the driver side (front and back) floors for some time. Allegedly, it doesn't have to be raining, or even wet outdoors at all for it to accumulate. The fluid is not engine coolant or windshield washer fluid; clear, colorless, and tasteless (yeah, I did taste it) liquid, totally saturating, and partially filling the floor pans on the left side, while leaving the area directly under the driver seat dry. There seems to be some dampness on the passenger rear carpet, but it's nothing like the driver's side. The undercarriage has plastic shielding of some sort covering the areas of the floor where the water has built up, so I can't immediately see any drain plugs, or holes where water may be coming in. Before I start tearing things apart, I thought I would run the strange problems through the forum, and see what you all might come up with. I've seen some reports of possible A/C drain issues in the passenger front floor, but this is definitely left side. Oh, yeah....there's a stink along with it, but I'm assuming that may be mold caused by the standing water, or something totally unrelated; but I thought it bore mentioning.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2005 GT - Water Leaking Around Driver Side Headliner And Down Column

My area has been hammered by rain for the past several weeks and I've noticed water leaking in around my driver's side headliner and down my column. I suspect it is the moonroof drain hole that is causing the problem, but when I pour water into the hole it drains out of the bottom of the car like it should be.

I want to check the drain nipple under the column trim to see if the hose is damaged there and leaking, but I'm not sure how to remove it. I've read about the Sante Fe trim removal and it sounds like you should just be able to pull on it from the top and work your way down, but I want to check as I don't want to start breaking clips to "test" out if it works.

Is the column held in by friction clips that should come loose if I pull with enough pressure toward the rear-view mirror?

Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: 2014 - Rain Water Leaking On Driver Side Floorboard

2014 SFS 2.0T

Wife was driving in heavy rain and noticed water dripping from above the parking brake.

When she got home took a quick look and noticed moisture around the fuse box that sits just above the parking brake.

Assume a seal somewhere is bad. Did some searching but only got hits for passenger side leaks and AC drain hose.

Next step is a trip to the dealer to diagnose.
