[scirocco] leaks

[smithma7 at yahoo.com (Mike Smith)]

Ummm.... yeah!  Really, though, I don't mind the leak, but am tired of having my windows constantly fogged up and since the rear defroster isn't working currently... I drove 2 hours to work this morning and was never able to see anything behind me.  The question still stands:  where can I get seals cheap?  BTW, it's leaking from the top of the hatch, right by the third brake light.

They ALL F#@!ING LEAK.

The Scirocco....the Sportruck.....the other Scirocco......luckily the
trailer is missing the 'leaky' parts, so my drum set stays dry.....but I
digress...


THEY ALL LEAK.

Doesn't it rain in Germany?
I know it may not rain every day there like it does here in sunny(hahaha)
Florida, but jeez....it's like they didn't even consider H2O when making
these things.....

I've known for a long time that my car has leaked. Sometimes after a heavy
rainstorm, I'd go out and find the driver's side floor a marsh. For some
reason, I always thought it was coming in the hole where my Scirocco badge
used to be. Well, a couple of months ago, I bought some grommets and
reattached the badge and redid the others with new grommets (they were
falling apart anyway). Thus, I thought my leak problem was solved. Not so,
I discover this morning. While backing out to take the boy to his bus stop,
I turned to look behind me and saw a drip. Grrrr.... It's dripping from
the rear hatch. Bad seals? Where can I get some new ones and are they easy
to do?

Also, anyone know where I can get one of those sockets for oil filters?
They fit on the end of the filter and hook to a socket wrench. I'd love to
have one of those, would make my life easier as I'm changing the oil every
month. (500 miles/week)

Thanks,
Mike

ps. This morning, while reading the list mail, I realized I had a dream
about the upcoming Mini-Cincy. All I remember is arriving and asking if I
was the only (or first) red scirocco and the reply was: You're the only
scirocco. Weird. Too bad I won't be able to attend.
