water leak, 2 inches of water when it rains

I purchased my 2002 Jetta NEW directly from the dealership while living in Phoenix,. AZ, where it rarely rains, and I had a garage so if it did rain my car was shielded from it. Now I am back in NY where the rain is consistent, but I do not have a garage to store my car in. The leaks are unbelievable. Depending on how the car is parked, when it rains I have at least 2 inches of water on the passenger or drivers floor. I have contacted the dealer and they say they haven’t heard any complaints at all about this and that I have to clean my sunroof drain. I have had that done many times .. by professionals. Still nothing. Any ideas on what i should do? A mechanic suggested they take apart my roof so they can see the drains and repair the drains but that is costly and isnt oging to fix the terrible mold i now have in my car. I need help .. this has been happening for 3 years now and i am at my witts end.

So, it is coming from the sunroof? Your headliner would be soaked if it were. I have never had a sunroof but, it seems like it would have to do with weatherstripping. And check the stripping on the doors too. It should be soft and rubbery and not brittle and cracked of coarse.

this might help with ur leak

I have a 2004 jetta. When it rained my floor on the passenger side was a pool. The problem was the ducts on the doorhad to be cleaned out. I hadnit done at the dealer. I was surprised that something so minor would cause this. I had it done at the dealer. Maybe you can find someone to clean the ducts out on the doors and under the hood. I'm out by queens I know to places that can do it.
