Leaky Golf

Why does my Volkswagen Golf 4-door hatchback keep filling with water in the rear footwell?

Asked on 5 July 2012 by dan leader

Answered by Honest John

Possibly blocked drains to the bulkhead vent well, leaving rainwater nowhere to go except via the pollen filter into the car. Or failed plastic waterproof membranes inside the doors.
