Replying to: chump2 (Aug 31, 2009 2:21 am) Check that carpets are not damp as that is normally the cause of moisture on inside of windows. Mine used to flood regularily and eventually I had to insist that VW replaced the vehicle with the VW Sportline estate with panoramic roof. Not quite the same I know but at least it is dry inside. Unfortunately VW will not admit that there is a major problem which is criminal as far as I am concerned. Peugeot and Ford do not apparently have this problem but I understand that Mercedes build the Peugeot collapsible roof and Ford build their own or so I am led to believe. Either way I would not buy another cc. Replies to this message: lancelotlink (Aug 31, 2009 10:26 am)

#143 of 152 2008 EOS moisture by chump2 Sep 01, 2009 (8:34 am)
carpets are damp , i guess thats it we are bringing to the dealer tomorrow the othe problem we have is the door window freeze and wont move when you unlock the doors , and if you open the door to fast it wont close because the window never went down that 1/4 inch to clear the gasket , the dealer told us last year to take a cup of warm water out to the car and throw it on the window my comment to him was ARE YOU freaking nuts thanks

Replying to: wlby (Dec 03, 2006 1:52 am) You guys don't need new seals. There is a procedure listed in you owners manual that outlines seal treatment. This is to be done every six months. The treatment product is available at all VW dealerships. Most dealers don't know about this treatment so take your manual in and show them. They can order it, the part number is in the manual.   The product they (VW) sells will treat the seals and make them swell up afterwards. The seals become soft and pliable also. I have used this product myself on my seals on our 08 EOS. We had water leaks before the treatment and now have none. I even took a hose and sprayed water directly on the roof and window seals and could not make my car leak water. I takes about a half an hour to treat your seals around the windows and roof top.

I have had leaks in my car since I bought it 17 months ago . The water test here in Australia is the service team throwing a bucket of water over the roof and saying it passes. The last two leaks caused the boot and petrol cap to malfunction as well as the locking and unlocking.   Last week the rain was so heavy it was the first time I had water gushing in through both windows. The speakers were full of water and I had to stop every 30 minutes to empty the inside of the doors. The dealership have advised (it has been in being repaired since last week) that if I have major issues I will need to contact Volkswagen Australia as they deal with refunds and replacements etc. The first number I was given by the dealership was disconnected. The second number was for breakdowns and they could not assist with a customer service number. I was also told that the leaks were very rare and taht I was the only car with this issue. I now know this is not true !!   I have emailed the contact us on their website and have heard nothing. I am due to pick up my car tomorrow (again ) I am really concerned with the possible damage to the electronics , inside floor, floor of car etc.Any advise on how to proceed with getting a replacement vehicle (hopefully with no leaks ) or a refund.   I must say I love my car when it doesnt rain. I am disappointed that I will now be going down this path. Replies to this message: cadd2233 (Sep 22, 2009 6:16 am)

Replying to: leakyaussie (Sep 22, 2009 2:33 am) Welcome to the Unhappy Eos group. I am in NJ/USA, we have option to file a complaint to "Better Business Bureau" where manufactor must respond to the lemon law (if fits the criteriar). I'm going through this process myself, since my roof leaked so bad that I had a flood INSIDE. One sniff of the car, after it has been repaired and aired out for over 1 month, the regional rep agreed to replace my car. I'm still waiting... Although my first choice was to return it, since I lost the use of it during the best season, they refuse to this idea... long story. Anyway, my advice is to find out in Aussie if you has similar consumer protection agencies. Another concern my neighbor brought up is, even if it has been repair NOW or eventually, in my case, the water damages may cause future unforeseen rust on your electronics and mechanics. Something that can cost you plenty of $ to repair once the warranty expires, since rust may take a while to eat through the wires etc. I agree, I love this car, but dry and use the top down because it's a beautiful day, NOT because I can't breathe, it smells so bad!
#147 of 152 EOS Water Leaks by bones66 Oct 01, 2009 (1:55 pm)
I've had an EOS for 2 years and have travelled 60,000kms (I live in Australia near Sydney). It's normally parked outside and I've never had any leaks. I have lubricated the special rubber seals with the right lubricant and so far all is good. No leaks at all. Search the net and you'll find the VW tech instructions on how to do it - quite straight forward - but don't use it on any seal except the ones in the instructions - normal rubber can't absorb the lubricant. It's expensive stuff, but is available from non VW sources. Replies to this message: cadd2233 (Oct 01, 2009 6:24 pm) jgjiffy (Oct 03, 2009 6:30 am) cadd2233 (Oct 03, 2009 8:16 am)

Replying to: bones66 (Oct 01, 2009 1:55 pm) Thank for your tip. As of today, I only have 7,200 miles on this car, purchased March 08. I stop driving it because the smell is terrible. VW is working on getting me a new one, but they want over $2K from me for a Komfort model, because they no longer make my Turbo model in 09. I don't think I should have to pay the difference. What do you think? Replies to this message: jgjiffy (Oct 03, 2009 6:30 am) cadd2233 (Oct 03, 2009 8:16 am)
