I was wondering if anyone else has experienced water occasionally leaking from the rear of their MK6 Sportwagen? It is always a fair amount of water. Enough to make a decent sized puddle. I believeit is actually water because there is never any color or smell and it leaves no residue when it dries. I linked a couple of pictures.

Thank you so much Shoveltrev. I was concerned that it might be something like that. Have you ever cleaned out the sunroof drains? I have seen several videos using weed eater string and an air compressor. Just wondering if this works, or if you have a different method?

if you use the string and compressoer the tubes will probably pop off . you can drop the headliner one corner at a time and reglue the tube ends . then trim off the rubber boots at the ends then fish the lines
