leak from roof rails

After recently acquiring and starting my own conversion I’m seriously troubled to find I have an indoor pool. The amount of water is a real concern, I can squeeze water out the mat like it’s a sponge. I think the snow exasperated the issue because there was evidence of water droplets when I...

Well having just typed the message out the phone decided nope, you're doing it again Anyway, I have done a load of digging and have not found anything similar. I have found I probably also have a leaky brake light though So the issue is pre existing to my ownership and was evident with some...

Hi So after owning my T6 for nearly 7 years I have finally got around to start converting it but noticed a bit of a problem. I removed the VW lining panels to replace them with thicker panels, when I removed the lower rear panels I looked in the rear quarter panel wells and noticed the drivers...

Whilst spending half hour in the drive through COVID test site bribing the children to stick pointy things up their nose; something I’ve spent years telling them not to do, I noticed the passenger footwell was soaking wet. Apparently it’s been like that for ages but nobody thought to mention it...

Hi all I know this has probably been mentioned before but thought be quicker to ask . I have water dripping and water marks on the roof is this due to condensation?? cheers all

Hi all. found my van has developed a leak on the passenger side the floor at the front near the door is a bit wet. Also found an occasion when the little storage hole in the dash had water in it. Am wondering if my roof bars have suddenly developed a leak? They have been fine since fitting...

Hi all, Not had a van before so unsure how damp condensation can make the rear of a van. The vans sits for about 10 days at a time and during this it’s been cold and raining. Condensation on windscreen has come and gone. van has roof bars- not fitted by me and ply in rear. Bulkhead in place...

Afternoon all, Is it possible to get condensation under the kombi floor lining in the rear? I have a 2016 Kombi and it has the original flooring, and no lining underneath as per pictures below. When I pulled it back, it was wet but not everywhere. I've checked for leaks and can't find...

Got a small amount of water coming in by the front step, not a lot but don't want any, under the mat floor. If I put my fingers behind bottom of dash I can feel wetness. Is it the roof rail fixings?

Currently halfway through some soundproofing on the left hand side of the van, but having a mind wrestle regarding the rear lower quarter area. There are several plastic wiring boxes attached in that area which could be controllers of some sort, and I'm loathe to stuff Dodo insulation down...

Hi all. Any thoughts on the following - My T6 van is less than a year old. It was a demonstrator. I’ve fitted a Thule roof rack system for carrying items on the roof. In the Thule instructions it says to use silicone on the bolts that hold the feet onto the roof. I didn’t bother with silicone...

Got some ebay roof rails and did not want to gorm silicone into and around the fixing holes. Instead I got some M6 threaded bar cut a little longer than the bolts supplied with the rails. I then used the rubber washers that came off the blanking bolts together with a washer and M6 nyloc nut...

Hi guys. Just got my original VW roof rails. The fitting looks simple enough but in the box there are what looks like 6 black plastic spacers, not the rubber gaskets. these plastic spacer like bits don't seem to fit into the rails anywhere. Any idea what they might be for or there they go...

Just fitted the Genuine VW roof rails, is it me or are they a bit of a sh!t fit? The plastic inserts just won't sit square under the feet and the rubbers are not sitting quite right either! No matter how much I try tweeking them! Has anyone else experienced the same?...

So... I had a leaky roof rail drivers side front was the offending fixing. Booked it in to my dealer along with my best upset and offended face. They have refitted it and as a result of the "water damage" I am having a new cab carpet and underlay and a new Kombi floor. Hopefully that'll be the...

Today on closing the tailgate I heard water sloshing around, on investigation I found two rubber bungs on the lower edge of the tailgate, when I removed these about a litre of water drained out. Has anyone else had this problem, and should I leave the bungs out so the water can drain?

Was pleasantly surprised that the VW Genuine Roof Rails are only £80. Was not happy to pay £150 for the cross bars that fit onto them though. So my question is - Can you fit aftermarket Cross Bars Onto Genuine VW rails? If so does anyone know which make Thanks
