I've read all the forums and think I figured out that I need to get the sunroof re-sealed, but my question is: Whats the best way to reproduce the leak? Would a garden hose running work? Thanks for the help!

Garden hose will work.

So i put the garden hose to it for 20-30 minutes and saw that there was water dripping into the footwells. Does this still indicate the sunroof or is there another issue?

I just started another thread in Bugs and Problems. My sunroof started leaking yesterday after a heavy rain.

I removed all of the overhead console electronics and the plastic trim and doused the area with a garden hose. After about 5 minutes I was able to put my hand above the headlines and feel a significant amount of water.

This has to be an issue with insufficient sealing of the sunroof cartridge to the roof. There is no way the drains being clogged could cause this problem. I'm on the fence with VW fixing it but I'll probably let them have a crack at it.

Good Luck.
