Guys, please make sure you use a silicone sealant. We took my wife's car to get sorted before I saw this video and they used GLUE don't use glue it will fail and will become brittle. Silicone and loads of it but neat. I promise follow this video to the letter it's saved me a lot of money. Just to get the water out the carpet now
Thank you for a very clear explanation. I have just followed the video clip and repaired the nearside tube with silicone. The driver's side was fine. Excellent.
Thank you so much for the information you’ve provided, i found it to be extremely helpful i will be trying the tips as soon as I get the silicone... your presentation was clear and easy to follow well done
Top video and does exactly what it says on the tin! Thanks very much. The detail on how to remove the various items was invaluable. I used some Fernox LS-X jointing compound which was perfect. A+++
Wow. I've been having this issue for a while and I am so grateful for.thus video. Does anyone on these comments or channel know.. the passenger side of my EOS also leaks terribly and I noticed the rubber doesnt seem to meet over the and the collum!!! Should there be a gap ???
Just watched your video on A pillar drains, well done. I recently had the driver's door replaced due to a deer running into our car. Since the new door has been installed water has been accumulating along the sill. Also notice after heavier rain, water drains from the door drain when I open the door. My bigger concern is the water accumulating inside the door. Any suggestions?
Just put a tube fitted just right size down the drain hole, without taking anything off car. make sure it goes down tube 6" at least. This way your past the spot where it leaks. then add silicone on the pillar hole very acuratly.
You didnt mention the other end of the tube and didnt check it. That goes through the firewall (bulkhead) via a rubber grommet adaptor. These often come out causing the water to run down into the footwells. These need to be checked and fixed as well. Otherwise you may well still have a leak as these leak like the end of a tap dripping or dribbling.
Grazie mille è stato utile. Ho un problema col tettuccio superiore. Potresti aiutarmi per piacere? Sono disperato. Il tettuccio piccolo sforza la chiusura e il motorino ha mangiato l' ingranaggio in nylon. Muovendolo in 2 persone il tettuccio sforza ed è duro sullo scorrimento. Ho ordinato ingranaggio di sostituzione però ho paura che fa ancora lo stesso problema dato che il tettuccio è duro.
I followed your instructions. Fixed my leak with the silicone, now the entire Center portion is leaking. Are the some clips on the windshield side I missed?
Those drain line problems apply to Audi also. I can recommend to wrap a few layers of self-fusing silicone tape to fix this. Unfortunately my EOS is now ecomomically dead. FSI engine -> timing chain tensioner, low power (injectors maybe?) and other stuff. VW makes a great car but keeps failing with modern engines. I really loved my EOS :-( sad! With old car engines 170.000km were no problem...
I didn't wanted to open the whole plastic moulding and bought plumber grade spray silicon. Through the front opening sprayed fair amount and smeared further through a guided wire just to make sure not blocking the internal lumen..10 min drying and tried water test all good.
@@CabrioletTech I watched all videos related to VW Eos,.but did not found the one that shows how to clean the back drainageas. Could you give me a hint which video I have to watch. I will appreciate it. Thank you.
@@CabrioletTech Thank you very much. I've checked this one already, but though that the shown drains are already clean and flushing them with water is only to check them up whether they are cleaned or not. I have leaking water from the back that goes down to the feet area on the back, so I will try the flushing, and hopefully will work. Thank you very much again! :)
@VagPro Cabriolet Specialist simply flushing the water inside the drains doesn't work - the water still doesn't go down to the outflow. What would you recommend in order to clean them up? Your advice will be highly appreciated.
My son has one of these and the roof has stopped working and checking with vcds it's showing a fault on G558 which we belive is in the location of where you have just been on this video . The vcds measuring blocks is showing a V rather than the 0 or 1 I'm wondering if you have an idea as to where the sensor plugs in so we can replace it .
Hi Sensor is in roof frame, you'll need to open roof with diagnostic equipment and if you would like to access the plug it's behind the roof bar You'll see this on our video where we change the roof lock
This would be great except I cannot get the sun visor holder caps off (beginning at 1:00). I tried a small Craftsman pick, then a small screwdriver, but all I did was scratch the holder. Cap didn't even budge. I doubt the year matters, but mine is a 2011 EOS. What tool specifically are you using to pull those covers off? Thanks.
@@mihaidanielescu I was able to get the holder off using a different pick tool, and using a bit more force. They're in there pretty tight. Sold the car a month ago. Extremely thrilled not to deal with these roof leaks any more.
If that coupling comes apart would waterproof super glue be something that could work (if I don't have silicone)? This way I make sure the two surfaces are attached.
@@CabrioletTech oh i understand. Is there anything else that would be able to permanently mate the two surfaces? (So that I don't have to go back and put silicone down the road)
Hi, any thoughts? my sunroof gets stuck midway but there isn't a gear noise. I can't tell why is jamming. I have to hand push hard for it to move all they way. Is it possible the motor has weakened? 2013 EOS, bought at an insurance auction, so I don't know prior use history, with only 56k miles
Hello, The sunroof tracks are probably very dry, The sunroof track can be accessed with roof partially open Hence why the motor is tripping on thermal overload You need to remove the sunroof washout and grease Do not put grease on cables as they should not be greased Any questions let me know Regards Team VagPro
I have a clogged pipe (Pillar A passenger seat). Probably the pipe exit is with durt. I put water and a wire to tried open the exit, but i was not sucess. Someone knows how i can reach the exit? Please friends, help me with this.
Does the window open without opening the roof?, Common problem is the back flaps. The passenger side one can get stuck which prevents the roof from fully opening.
lol, the advert of a youngster who builds a heater that costs nothing to heat your home, and heats a classroom to 24 deg in just two minutes, lol what absolute rubbish, and if i hear another advert that mentions " taking the world by storm" that on its own tells me straight out, what ever they are selling is a complete scam,

Completed this on my eos. Lame I forgot to hook up the visor lights. No big deal I know how to hook them back up now.

My seats on both sides get soaked when it rains heavily, is this the cause of that?
Can we do that without opening the top?
what size torque screw driver?

You need to remove the sunroof washout and grease
Do not put grease on cables as they should not be greased

Helllo ! can i do this with the roof closed (blocked)
No
My only question : u say to pop out the cap with a pick NOT so EASY. I'm going crazy trying to get the !$#& thing out. Help?
Same problem here but my convertible doesn’t open. I have the motor but my back right window doesn’t work I think that’s the problem
Check the hydraulic fluid is topped up!
@@joshsmith4453 in the trunk ?
Yes look under the carpet where the spare wheel is toward the back of the car just after your legs.
@@joshsmith4453 it has fluid I think the problem is the back window
Does the window open without opening the roof?, Common problem is the back flaps. The passenger side one can get stuck which prevents the roof from fully opening.
Can you please tell me what is the name of the tool with the little pin? In 01:00
Ty
Hi
It's called a pick, we buy a set from a company called Bergen or US Pro
Thank you!
I have done this and now the side panel where the roof sits in is now soaked and car seat is wet
Hi
Post a photo of where it's leaking from, sounds like the coupling is still leaking or not seated correctly in ball joint
Δεν επισκευάζει χρειάζεται αλλαγή
We have repaired repaired over 100 of these so we will agree to disagree
