Seems like a good idea, pls ask VW CustomerServices...still waiting for a reply here from them after some time...

OK, and so did you seal the lights in on putting back?

did you remove lights? Seems makes it easier

how did you get on with taking the bumper out? I got some PU based sealant, hope it goes OK with the rubber seals of the new vents... Need to do it at the weekend.

All trim out (not bumper yet), the vent compartments were wet though not overly full which is a bit confusing as the wheel well certainly was. Just wondering if this water can actually come through the vent flaps themselves, in very wet weather (we have had a lot) but will keep monitoring before...

So are the new gaskets for the hatchback now rubber...or still foam? Will probably order a new set when I have got into those compartments.

do you put seal on the foam gasket or around them?

did you solve this??

did you sort it??? about to start taking trim out here to investiagte

you think the water come through the flaps rather than the seals...?? That makes things more complicated....

where did you put the sound proofing? has the leak gone?

good work Holmes. Hope you have passed this to VW!! I will probably be doing the vents soon...

swimming pool here in boot. will quite poss go down this route when trim is off. may i ask did you keep the original foam gaskets or discard them prior to silicon sealing? i plan to use butyl rubber sealant.

ok, at stage 1 here after finding my boot was a swimming pool; got wheel bay carpet out, and sopping back bench seat now slowly drying in kitchen. Not relishing getting bumper off. may I ask how to access the lights and vents from the inside, ie how to get all the trim and cloth lining away to...
