this has been a problem since the polo has been in the family.
when ever the car is washed the passenger seats gets a nice soakin
and when drivin with no music on theres a whistlin noise and sound like it'll take off
the sun roof is not sitting flush wiv the car n its allowin water in.

I'm pretty sure you can get some special grease which u can use to help create a good seal around the glass and rubber

My country does the same, it was sealed up with silicone as a temporary emergency measure about 6 years ago and hasn't been sorted properly since.
There was a thing on the other Polo site that these went factory fitted, but I think the Country ones were (they wind up rather than just push) as if you look in the owners manual they are there so I wondered if VW would sell new seals???
What is the grease called........has anyone used it?

Here all all the part numbers...it'll give you something to do on the next dry Saturday
Jim, if Owen can't get you parts, try:

They've been very good at getting me some obscure parts for the Mk1, especially if you quote them part numbers
