...I’m planning to do but on a sheet of 10mm twinwall. This will still only increase the van height by 13mm. It’ll be mounted so the tubes run fore and aft, with the leading edge sealed up to stop water ingress. Any moisture that finds its way inside will get drained out when the pop-top is...

Okay is your wheel arch liner (exterior plastic liner) still in place above your wheel? I don't know why you'd have a hole in your wheel arch but maybe there? Driving in rain the spray could get in perhaps??? If your rear seals and slider seals are definitely 100% in tact and healthy and roof...

Water ingress is a difficult one to discover up high. Most people don't find it until it's got to the floor at the lowest point and then it's a guessing game as to where it's gettng in along with the contemplation that their ply floor is potentially shot. If you have a light coloured carpet...

...cover the lower edge of the wheel arch liner, AND they protrude right into the wheel arch. I'm hoping these will minimise greatly any water ingress via this route. Can be seen here https://www.t6forum.com/attachments/img_1529-jpeg.273720/. However, all that being said, I think I will make it...

Is water ingress in the door speakers a common problem in the T6? The factory speakers coil complete seized after just a few years. Replaced them with a factory kit last year and now the left door speaker has become all scratchy and bad. Took the new speakers out and found rust on the backside...

I’m another that cut the plastic under trays to fit around the side bar mounts. The under trays do not stop water ingress as they are not sealed in any way, though they will minimise it except when driving though deep water.

No, not me mate, I have mentioned getting water into/under the rear threshold when the tailgate is open in the rain but not a leak/ingress problem

There has been an exceptional amount of rain where I am, but no water ingress visible in the footwell, but I'm guessing the rain must have caused water to get in somewhere. It hasn't happened again yet, but clearly, there is a problem there that needs investigating at some stage!

...modules an computers around the vehicle. I'm don't know what VW Group call their equivalent. It was a fairly common problem due to water ingress. Some owners got away with cleaning the big connector on the edge of the board, but in needed a whole new unit. The symptoms were identical to...

So removed alpine speakers today, and water ingress, so assuming they have blown. So I refitted my original speakers, left the alpine tweeters as thought they should be fine. Still no sound, and same fault code. Anybody have any idea? Would the tweeters have blown too and stopping the sound...

Looks mint where you got that spare holder from? I plan remove mine and put water tank under slug then do same as yours

Any update on this please guys? I previously had LED upgrade bulbs/lamps haha in mine, but got lots of condensation/ water ingress. Could anyone advise the bulbs they used, are happy with, causing no dash errors or condensation ingress. Trouble free would be good

This looks like an unsealed point of entry yes Unbolting roof rails and siliconing the bolt holes and re attaching roof rails could work. The holes are a threaded metal lug at the opening rather than the hole being just a threaded hole so you bolt into a lug but it isnt sealed round the...

...need to be open. The holes on our VW touran tailgate holes are open. Why would someone have plugged them with these plastic plugs? I thought they might have been having water ingress past the seal and put them in to stem the leakage. Or am I missing something here guys. Your thoughts please...

Thank you for looking. I’ll try get a look during the week. Do you know if nearside rear or offside rear? Cheers

It should be fully sealed but that won’t stop the water running into the door or window. The only way to prevent the water ingress is to fit an multi awning rail either side which will provide an effective gutter. Reimo or cheaper Vamoose which is just as good as the Reimo.

Hi there, did you manage to fix your water ingress? I have a similar problem water dripping from behind the dash into the passenger footwell. I assumed that the was too much for AC condensate but bout sure. The incidents do seem to coincide with heavy rain. Any pointers?

Hi all, I've recently had some Vanshades fitted to my kombi sliding doors and I'm not sure they're 100% right. Should they be flush all around? I'm a little concerned the door seal won't be tight against the metal and allow water ingress. Cheers, Pete

Very good points above for the DIY Installs. Making sure that the combustion air inlet and exhaust faces rearwards and slightly downwards. To stop forced air from driving forward and water ingress, even if the pipes are above the sheilds.

love it. . . . so you got a knackered key with a sticky button? or wet key with water ingress?
