Rear Spoiler / Third Brake Light

<< < (2/5) > >>

bacillus:
You could have just drilled a small hole to let the water out then put some clear sellotape to reseal it.

vwrascal:
oh dear steve, not good, is this a common problem with the golfs?? going to check mine in the morning  :scared:

Phil Mcavity:
all 3 of my GTi's have done the same, Teutonic reckon'd it was the rear wash wipe just causing the water to get it. :confused:

i think its purely heat sweat inside rear spoiler.

Perhaps yes drill a tiny hole to allow it to breath, or maybe that'll do the reverse and let more water in???

Hiya

This is a very common problem on GTI/R32 only, i have even seen the light hanging out.

I had mine done by Newbolds of Mansfield, the guy chuckled saying they had done 2 already and scratched one of them.

Anyways picked it up the same day and it was perfect, no scratches new light brake 6 months later still ok.

Greeners:
My theory (as I've NEVER used the rear wash wipe) is that the water gets in between the roof and the spoiler as it always seems worse after Iv'e washed it  :surprised: It's more than likely a poor seal between the two and VW have already told me they use a different bonding agent for the fix!
