in every vw i have owned i had problems with the vapor barriers in the doors, i had an 87 gli that used to collect about 3 inches of water behind the drivers seat, if i forgot to check i would be able to hear it sloshing around when driving. used to empty it out with a large cup

Same thing happened to my '89 For me it turned out to be the drain hoses from the sun roof. the run down inside the headliner to a couple of drains under the dash, when it rains now an then you dont notice it because the sunroof seal doesnt get soaked enough to let water start seeping though, but around here it happens. (that, and when your sunroof seal is 10+ yrs old, it wont hold back the water as well) My problem started after I took my car in to have the heater core replaced and the mechanics didnt re-attach the drain hoses to the correct spots so they would drain outside.. they would drain into the car when it rained really hard. So thats one thing to check. Also, you might want to check the window seals on your car doors, if they are letting enough water run down the window down into the door, it might be pooling in the bottom of the door, which could then be seeping into the car from there. PS. About the Lic. Plate Holder.. I tore my shed up looking for it. I havent gotten into that stuff since i moved about 2 years ago. Im starting to think the plate holder may have gone away with my '89 when i sold it right before the move. All i could find was a 16v Motronic Fuel Distributor and the rear plate brackets, theres a couple of other places i might have stashed it, ill let you know by tomarrow night. Hope my tips might help. -Adam ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Bensinger To: a2-16v ; TheJettaGLIRealm Sent: Monday, December 22, 2003 8:24 PM Subject: [WWW.GLIREALM.COM] Wet floor - utoh! Hey all, 91 GLI, wet floor on passenger side only, front and back. Doesn't smell like coolant, don't notice coolant level going down. NC car, just moved to PacificNW in September, lots more rain in these parts. So where are the usual suspect locations to check? Window rubber, evaporator tray, sunroof? If the evaporator tray, how to clean if dirty? Can you get to this from under the car to at least poke something in the drain? I figure the easiest way to check this is run defrost or AC on a dry spot of pavement and check for water draining? All comments, ideas needed.
