Sold it!
I sold the Golf to a relative of a friend that's been looking for a TDI. He likes working on cars so this will be a good home for it! He'll keep it going for a long time. I encouraged him to join TDIClub too.
Thank you all very much for the help! This was a fun project. I think for...
I put a bead of silicone around the edge. This is about all I think I can do for this leak. I soaked it with a hose and there are no leaks in the car now.
Last night I replaced the rear quarter panel vents. It's a little different design than the stock ones. I like the seal better. It's not a foam seal. It's a lip seal.
When I took out the tail lights to get the bumper off I found water in the passenger side tail light. Looks like the...

After she said no on the EV6 I told her I was getting a commuter car anyways. I picked up the Golf in Sep 2023. I think I brought it home around March 2024...
I cleaned up both tail lights. The driver side seems to be OK.
If they don't come with rubber washers, I'll get some of McMaster. Scratch that. I ordered a rubber sheet and a punch set from Amazon. I got gaskets and plastic epoxy off Amazon too.
I'll repair the passenger side with some JB weld...
I'm not sure when I'll sell this. I'm still enjoying working on it.
Today's job was to inspect the condition of quarter panel vents. When taking apart the trunk interior in preparation to remove the bumper I found some water in the 2 cavities under the tail lights.
