Re: HELP! 2000 Passat leaking

My Jetta had the same problem - the sunroof drains were clogged and needed
to be cleaned. Once I cleaned them out, no more leak There's 4 drains, one
at each corner of the sunroof. Two drain forward to the hinge area of the
door and two drain back rear of the rear wheels. I used a flexible
fiberglass electrician's wire snake and worked it thru the drain tubes to
clear them out.
