Hi guys, I just acquired a 2012 Touareg. I am having 2 issues which could be related:- 1) My Touareg has the electric tailgate option. I can't open it using the handle on the boot, I have to use either the button at the front or the FOB. Even than it only goes up slightly and I have to push it...

I have at 2012 TDI. It appears the seal around the antenna above the tailgate is leaking water. My spare tire compartment had a frozen pond in it. Was really fun cleaning up the water! Anyone have a suggestion on how best to repair? Struggling with removing the side panels etc.

Hey All, I have noticed that I have a leak from my tailgate after significant rain storms. The water only leaks out after the tailgate opens fully, and will drain from the center onto your head. Has anyone seen this before? Are there any weird leak points I should be aware of for T3s? Cheers...

The power lift gate on my 2011 Touareg FSI stopped working the other day. This is the second time it's happened. When you hit the hatch button it would pop open an inch but not go any further, as if it was in towing mode. The first time it happened I was on the road with a full egg and family...
