      Nope. and neither does my brothers 2002. It's seriously weird. I'll just have to spend some time when it is dry looking at it.

                I got it for free from some guy who makes bumpers and body kits for racing bmw's.

                I wish I knew his name or info.

                  I'll looked at the fire wall yesterday and didn't see anything missing. Like I said. The firewall was basically dry. So its gotta be getting in somewhere else.

                  The water comes in very slowly on the passenger size up in the left corner by the dash.

                    It sounds like a leaky window seal.

                      What is under those hood vents ... I can't remember how this model works.... 

                      Don't they go into a cavity were the heater core brings in air somehow ?? I believe there are drains in the bottom of that cavity. I really cannot remember how that works ... brain hurts !?!?!? ughhh

                          When I had the car painted about 5 years ago now. I had the windshield removed and a new gasket put in.

                          I'm going to "test" if its the seal.

                            Behind the firewall is the heater core. Those hood vents are just for looks I think.

                                LOL. How crazy is that. I had to take a guy home from work. He doesn't have a car at the moment.

                                I couldn't see anything. The windows were so foggy on the sides and the back.

                                what were you driving? the 318? 316? in your signature?

                                    Dang. Didn't spot ya.

                                    I love me some vw :)

                                    My 2nd car is a mk2 jetta.

                                    Link me to the build thread. Need any help? I could give you a hand. Maybe you could give me a hand? I was planning on doing some much needed repairs on my jetta. It's needs a lot of love mechanically.

                                    And what does your quote mean "one of the few members with trunk issues"?

                                      My build thread is on here for the compact. The mk3 is a hunk of crap and doesn't get anything done to it. That's actually a compact joke. The ti in 318ti means touring international, but people like to think it means trunk impaired. Lol

                                        Oh ok. Trunks are over rated. That's why we have back seats.

                                        Would you want any help?

                                        My jetta is my winter car too. But its also my audio car. So I give it more attention than my e21 since audio is what I really love.
