    It sounds like a leaky window seal.

    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.

      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

      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.

                        Dang. I got nothing to do. Working on a car with someone sounds fun.

                        Not every car has to be perfect. I bet the mk3 is fine. Mine has a rediculous amount of miles on it. They seem to be pretty welll built. Besides the door handles LOL

                          It's is an okay car. Not a huge fan by any means. It's not enjoyable at all to me:P

                            rwd > fwd that is for sure.

                            and the body roll is horendous.

                            But with bmw...They leave you know room to play around with adding multiple alternators or a big trunk to play with for a beefy sub stage.
