[Vwdiesel] Wet floors

[brian hoeft]

I recently got a car in that had a sunroof service for this problem and
still leaked..

pured some water around and within 5 minutes had it all back together said
and done.

apparently someone didnt re-attach that tube to the spout coming of the
sunroof assembly.  If water comes down the A or C pillar its a tell tale
sign of such a problem.

I suspect the shop cleaning involved a hangar or other type of snake that
purged the blockage, then disconnected the drain. smart..
