Fortunately I haven't detected any water ingress in the tailgate myself. However, it did occur to me could the water be entering through the numberplate fixings when open in the rain. The contour of the panel would mean water would soon pool and if inadequately sealed allow water to ingress...

I’m not sure that’s the best direction, definitely a possibility but for me water ingress to the bcm is a possibility ?? I guess removing the steering column plastics and disconnecting the key barrel will prove it one way or the other

...aftermarket speakers or removed the internal ally piece to install sound deadening to the door skin? This is the most likely route of water ingress into the step. I had exactly the same issue on my T6. For me it was the grey squidgy silicon type seal that had failed. Ended up replacing the...

Bought a debus canopy, 2x c-channel awning rails and figure of 8/kador strip pack. Got the 3m length as didn't fancy water ingress through them. These vans leak enough!. I've now got to get the non leaking roofbars off to fit them!!!!

...and closing every day, no lights on dash etc. And guess what folks the fault issue has come back today. My thinking is that I have water ingress somewhere on that side which is getting into the control units affecting the doors. Last week the weather was quite mild and dry, however last...

Is anyone else having major issues with water ingress on the T6.1 sliding windows? 2nd units fitted in summer but they failed as soon as the first rain hit them. Been battling VW customer care ever since to rectify.. Well done VW. Truly remarkable engineering.

...leads too after this, found one that just came off in my hand that had worn in half inside the sleeving, one had worn the insulation of both wires under the sleeve and was intermittently touching I guess, the rear had water ingress in the plug. I've not had a problem in 6 months now. Just an...

...to look for are chaffing wires in the body to tailgate area and if you have door switches same between the door and body. Check for water ingress in the tailgate release handle as well, I think some folks have had issues there. Finally double check the obvious, that you're not somehow...

Google the part numbers and you'll find you plastic parts. Misting up windscreens could be a number of things relating to water ingress or ventilation. When was the pollen filter last changed?

...I guess). These look ideal for cable routing from inside to the roof racks above for lighting, solar panel etc.. Is that what these gaskets are intended for? How have you utilised these to pass cables through, poke a hole? use a cable gland on the gasket to prevent water ingress? Thanks all.

The fog lamp unit are not sealed so whatever bulb you fit they will need to be waterproof to some degree.. I had to conformal coat and silicon seal my Switchback H11s for Autobeam.. no problems since then, but this isn't trouble free!

Used to jet wash the window seals until doing it trashed the lower door speakers. They were full of rust from water ingress. Use all purpose cleaner, let it dwell then brush it off

...doesn't seem to want to come across to sit alongside dash side. And now side of heater wont fully clip in at the top..... So this whole section is now a bit janky. Also one last note is I've cut the door seal 2mm short - is this going to cause an issue with water ingress? Having a MARE...

...I also realised my 'baffles' weren’t included in my kit, they’ll arrive tomorrow after a phone call. I now realise the 'baffles' are in fact rain covers. Great thread to read through, just in time. I’ll be taking additional precautions to stop water ingress. Also fitting a Vibe Powerbox 65.4M.

...back, but thought this might help someone in the future if they have the same/similar set up as my van. The leak has been resolved… no water ingress for the last 4 weeks, even with heavy rain. It was fairly straightforward once I’d built up the confidence to give it a go! Lift roof slightly...

Possibly water ingress and freezing. https://www.t6forum.com/threads/audio-upgrade-stage-1-blam-relax-200rs-speakers-from-skipton.8189/post-533426 . Did you fit a weather sheild or something to stop water getting on the door speakers.?

...replaced and trimmed we decided to seal the widow ( with sealant ) …Also If you’ve had speaker upgrades in the doors they can cause water ingress ( we had @Absolut5 fix it ) ..but keeping the door seals clean and supple helps. ( we use GummiPlege ) and check the roof bolts are sealed ( we’ve...

oh really . . . that's interesting. no signs of water ingress anywhere? did they just say the speaker has failed?

They advised that the used vehicle warranty specifically excludes leaks and perished seals. It was the seal that perished causing the water ingress. Not had any issues since replacing.

Okay so - having a new seal fitted soon for drivers door as worn and a bit naff - vw refusing replace on warranty but hey ho. I did fit a v-dubs one but actually would rather keep it all OEM. This post however is for a slightly different issue. When coming to the van in mornings after rain I...
