I used 2 sets of long needle nose pliers and just worked them back together. There's a way to use some barb connectors that may be a better idea because these hoses will shrink over time and may end up being too short.

Thanks for your reply i managed to get it in with my fingers but a pulled the other end off sunroof the pipe has shrunk damm so i got a barb hose connector attached it to the end qith jubilee clip and it gave me a extra 40 mm to connect it to the nipped so all good for now lets hope it works time to try and dry the carpets now . Thanks for your help 👍

Honestly very carefully make sure you're pulling it off the correct direction also try getting a hand behind the col and lifting on the edge

@@300superMEXICANS Thanks for the super fast reply! I've been lifting perpendicular to the windshield and have been putting a few fingers behind the cowl where the lip meets the windshield (can't get my entire hand behind the cowl). I've also been lifting pretty hard and although it lifts up slightly, it won't come out of the track. What's interesting is that I can slide the cowl back and forth horizontally just fine.

@StockDC2 it's a rubber trim that holds it in so if you do have some that's broken you could grab the bit in the trim with some needle nose pliers and pull. I had to do that with my coilovers because the plastic is starting to deteriorate and become fragile

One I found recently use a set of channel locks. One side under the back part of the wiper blade, the other on top of the spindle then squeeze. Might need to adjust it here and there but it'll come off.

Probably a bit late for this but if you pull up on the wiper by where it’s stuck and give it a good wack on the bolt it should come right off

did u figure out how to fix ur driveside?

@@ruanj0302 Ya I was able to get enough slack in the hose to reconnect it. My only concern now is if it happens again, I was tempted to use some adhesive to strengthen the connection but decided against it incase it ever gets clogged again. Drying out the car was the hardest part.

@@Templar0311 thanks, i just use tape for now for my sunroof, going to fix it when weather is getting warm

Yes I had the same issue you can just push it back in it'll be a tight fit to get to it but it'll go back on or you could put a plastic nipple on one end and connect them that way

@@300superMEXICANS I have a Mrk7 gti is it like the same thing as a mark 6 I also have the fender speakers that are in the column that the line runs down and I noticed there’s a air bag in there should I be concerned when removing the column?

@Karson Dias just disconnect the battery

Yes absolutely

Thank you for the quick reply! I’m on ir

So you've looked up and down the line all the way? Sometimes it will disconnect at the top and the hose needs to be pushed back on.

@@300superMEXICANS Yup looked up and down the line. I cleaned the lines. If I pour water directly into the drain it flows down to the wheel well. However what I discovered is those two mesh holes along the rail drain right into the headliner (for some reason I can't figure out). It must have been that my sunroof drains were clogged then accumulated water moved to those two mesh holes and leaked into the headliner and down into the footwell. That's my theory at least

@@leonl.7429 did you ever figure this out? I’m having the exact same issue with my 2010 GTI. I did cut the ends in the fire wall and there was a bunch of gunk in them but then when I poured water into the little screens on the passenger side of the moonroof it does exactly the same as what yours did. I can’t imagine the tube would be clogged all the way to the top of the sunroof?

@@300superMEXICANS I’m having the same issue as Leon. If it is disconnected at the top by the roof how do I get all the back in there through the head liner without damaging it?

@@jmcnite1 so yes I managed to sort the issue to the best of my ability. I did exactly as above. Cut the tips off the drainage hoses, cleaned and rinsed the tubing out. I grabbed a large pitcher of water with a spout that I use for plants. Poured it directly into four drain holes in the top of the sunroof to make sure they were draining into the wheel wells, they were no longer clogged and importantly no water ended up on the footwells of the car. Then I grabbed some waterproof grease and greased up the mesh portions and the two little holes along the rail of the sunroof. I genuinely don’t know the purpose of those mesh holes and the two little holes on the track but I do know that if water gets in there it leaks directly into the headliner and will end up inside the car. I can only imagine that one a very rainy week, the drains were so clogged that water ended up sitting on those holes and draining into the floor. I have had the car for almost five years without this issue happening until this randomly. I haven’t had the issue come back since I cleaned the drains and greased up those ingress spots. Good luck hope this helps.

My ‘13 leaked a gallon into my passenger side during heavy rain. On Drivers side, screwed my computer/fuses. Headliner already down. Hit or miss if the car will start. Horrific.

None it's been over a year and has worked great and I used no sealant.

Disconnect the battery

No problem! I'm glad to you found this useful!

Where did the tube become disconnected? At the moonroof or at the point where it goes into the fire wall?

Its a mash up of a nuespeed intake and an ecs intake, together they're ID is larger than a few other intakes I looked at but I am thinking about switching over too the IE intake for a cleaner look and from what I've read better performance. I do still run the oem sensor its in between the first half of the intake and the second

So far its still good

Yeah man I usually go to Hunt Valley horse power and the Tuesday night meet in Reisterstown if you see me say hi

I shampooed the carpet and used an ozone machine

@@300superMEXICANS Thank u

@@marlonjackson8635 no problem let me know if you have any more questions

Not much at all just some vibrations when taking off, also my car is mt i have heard that on the dsg they vibrate like crazy when stopped. Also be careful when with the billet insert it will tear up your bushing and add a fair bit of slop and can cause you to snap your dog bone under a launch. To avoid this you should do upgraded motor and transmission mounts at the same time if you do a billet insert.

@@300superMEXICANS thanks for your reply. Have you seen the 034 Motorsports solid dogbone mounts? do those cause vibrations as well? I'm trying to decide what to do. thanks!

@@IvoRuestRossi no a problem! If you are talking the completely solid rubber puck they're not bad and just a little vibration on take off like the billet one im actually running that now since the billet insert chewed up my old mount. If you're looking for like an easy upgrade that'll improve feeling id recommend just the rubber insert because they dont chew up your mount and you can get a little less vibration on take off. If you dont mind vibration i would recommend ecs tunings upgraded mounts, motor, transmission, and dogbone. They vibrate a good bit but it such a more solid feeling drive.

@@300superMEXICANS thanks bro. I appreciate your help. Will try the 034 kit with the engine mounts and dogbone mounts then. Dont want to risk it.

@@IvoRuestRossi good plan with these cars ive found overkill is the right move it keeps them reliable and consistent.

Im running a eurodyne stage 2 tune with cat o2 delete. I passed emissions with that.

@@300superMEXICANS u went to station or self serve kiosk ? What about the tune readiness ?

@@youngrios i went to the station in Owings mills. Tunes good, powerful and really torquey

WhiteMk6GTI nope thats it, maybe some slight adjustments in the pendulum but thats also just 2 easily accessible bolts and its free moving. I didnt have to mess with mine at all and i had 95k miles on the car when i took this video.

thepeopleswagen That’s awesome man how do you like the product? I’ll be putting it on to my daily!

WhiteMk6GTI its pretty good better response in the throttle and snappier shift changes. Just a fair warning your starts will be a little more jumpy than normal.

Kyle Aragon yes, i failed to mention that. I would recommend people to use a torque wrench, ive worked with them enough to feel confident to torque bolts down without one.

Dope! I just ordered a 034 insert, just waiting for some free time to throw it on my mk6, i've read and seen 50 reviews on the vibrations and reverse shakes but how do you like it?? I'm pretty stoked for it, I have DFG short shifter i'm waiting to install too
