I have a 2003 Volkswagen convertible. Recently I've run into an issue with the rear window leaking (canvas separating from glass). So far I have had it patched but water is still leaking from somewhere into trunk, and if there is a large amount of rain the water then runs from the trunk down into the interior of the car. As of right now the only solution I have been given is to have the WHOLE top replaced. The cost is $2500..... I have been able to find a top online for around $799 but I don't know who can install it correctly if I don't take it to a dealer... It's a BIG headache but the car is perfect with the exception of the leak.... I really think Volkswagen needs to find out another solution to fixing the problem instead of just replacing the whole top.
If it is leaking through the crack next to the soft/hard top just put some sealant there and it should be fine.
