This VW Golf has had some wiring work done in the back, which seems to be an after-market parking censor.
This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the leaks shown in this video, however we did find a grommet which they had cut a hole through and sealed up with electrical tape which could potentially cause a leak.
Electricians, putting holes where holes don't belong, is a common cause of leaks in cars and always worth investigation.
The Golf has one leaking rear door membrane. We would recommend replacing all four because if one has perished, it's likely the other three are not far behind.
One of the rear air vents is also leaking, which if you have watched any of our other videos, will come of no great shock. We would also recommend replacing both of these.
The housing around the pollen filter also tends to leak on Golfs and is worthy of a check-up.
If the customer decides to go ahead with the work, we will fix the leaks with replacement parts and thoroughly dry the car before putting it back together.

How Much Water is in a Leaky Car?
You had a rain water leak in your car, and you got it fixed. What next? It will dry out on its own right? Maybe you can just vacuum the carpets, and it will dry?
This car came to us with a suspected rain water leak, there were wet carpets and water on some of the door shuts. We performed our water leak detection inspection and found the source of the leaks.

In this video, James begins by showing where we have found water. Quite often a customer comes to us with a damp problem or steamed up windows, but it isn't evidence where the water is other than a general dampness.
Upon testing the sunroof, it was found there was no rear drainage, almost certainly because the drainage pipes are blocked with dirt and debris, causing the cassette to fill up.
