Wet carpets
- Thread starter David Lea

Sometimes floor was really wet.
I found signs of water on the footwell side panels following rain.
This is not a uncommon problem
Local main dealer said get it sorted asap as there are some electrics that can get affected. They kindly offered to remedy for £1200 + vat .The car was under a extended warranty but that is not covered !
Numerous reports and horror stories on this problem.
Worst case scenario was to remove or reposition the whole sunroof cassette.
Or replace the two rubber sunroof seals.
I had neither done.
I found that the secondary Channel which is exposed when pan sunroof is open was filling with water and could not see where it could drain away. The primary channel which runs next to it is the one that obviously runs into the drains but did not connect to the other channel.
I did not garage my car .
Having dried out the secondary channel I had no more issues and very shortly after sold the car.
Thanks for your reply. I'm getting more feedback that this is a very common problem with the Mac.Yes had same issue with a Macan and pan sunroof.

I think I may follow your solution. Shame the Gts is a nice car.
If the wetness is just one side it may be the rear windscreen washer pipe that runs through the interior split leaking worth checking.
Good luck.

I have the exact same problem the deflector channel fills with water and runs across the roof lining down the post on to the floor, getting to this point has been a headache, I have cleared all the drains which run clear, then I still had water dripping through the fuse area on to the floor, so I took the head lining down enough to get at the top end of the drain pipe, all looks good here pouring water down the drain I could not see any leakage on to the roof lining just water exiting the drain below. Every one says its the drains but has you have found it is not! Do you have any further thoughts on what has already been said? TIA Graham
