Touch wood on my 05 plate its dry as a bone, but in the event it did start filling up with water I would be going with the two small holes approach to sorting the problem.  Using something like a dremel rather than the trusty hammer drill of course...

i noticed when i was in vag com a while back, i had a "half rear wiper wash jet" or something along those lines. this option was ticked as default.

the water only jets up about half way up the rear window. the only thing that would come into contact with the rear brake light is probably some light spray.

is this the case on all mk5 golfs or does the washer jet reach the top of the window and consiquently the brake light?

^^^ mine only ever sprayed half way up the rear screen so I think it must have been getting in under the spoiler either when washing or driving in the in rain  :confused:
