I've searched through all related forum posts that I can find, and cannot seem to find anyone who has this issue. I'm hoping someone can provide some advice here. My car is an early 2005 Jetta TDI, A4 style.
I've recently begun to have water in my driver's side footwell, and it is dripping from above the hood release handle. Thinking it was a clogged sunroof drain "nipple." After checking that, however, when it rained yesterday, i was still getting a leak. I put my car in the garage, opened the sunroof, and poured some water in the track. A significant amount of water came out from undderneath my dash, right around the hood release handle.
My next thought was that somehow the tubing became disconnected from the rubber grommet and nipple. I removed that, and the tube was still firmly inserted. I removed the rubber nipple, left the tube pointing through the hole in my doorframe, and poured some more water. Some of the water came out through the tube as it's supposed to, but most of the water came out underneath my dash.
I'd prefer to avoid having to remove the headliner and replace the entire tube...and was hoping someone may have a suggestion on how I could fix this. Thanks!
