Water inside the tailgate in a 6R Polo.

My sister has a 6R Polo, which has somehow has water leaking into the tailgate. When she opens the boot, you can here the water sloshing around under the plastic. Has anyone else experienced this? Will be looking to see if we can take it to our local dealer or somewhere else to see what the problem is.

I didn't get water into the tailgate, but it pooled into the spare tyre area. (Golf Mk5 TDI)

It was the VW emblem that was the cause. The other popular causes are the wiring loom, and the tail light assembly...

Good luck!

ok thanks for that will pass that on, hopefully will get to the bottom of it, there has been water in the passenger footwell as well which at first had something to with the air cond but now has come back, some more investigating to do!
