Passat water leaks - wet carpets

[Jimmy2007]

Thanks for all your input.
Sunroof had been tested, all good.
Today we had a lot of rain in 10 minutes, went out and lo and behold both door seals are leaking in the gap between plastic trim and rubber.
So, next task is to seal them.
Somehow when i hosed them they didn't leak.
Mystery of the the Passat.
One question: do i use the same butyl sealant suggested for pollen filter, or is there a different product?
Thanks guys, i'm seeing an end to this finally.

Sorry about delayed reply. If you haven't already done the repair, I found butyl rubber goo sold in cartridges as gutter sealant works well. Remove door card. Notice how the window regulator panel bolts to the door. You don't have to separate the window regulator panel from the door, just smear sealant over the joint where the two meet. You only have to seal the lower half of the door because that's where the water gets in. The goo is messy, black, non-setting stuff but it's covered up when you put the door card back on. Bit of a bodge, but it seems to last well and is a useful timesaver when you've got two or more doors to do!
