Are your VW T5 sliding windows leaking like mine were? The VW T5 side windows are a poor design.
The VW T5 Drainage holes need to be kept clear.
Watch this video on how to fix it and hopefully cure your VW T5 leaky windows.
If you don't have an air compressor then try a syringe filled with water and use that instead to squirt into the drainage hole and clear it out.
Thanks for watching.

Had a van a month. First "mist" this happened. Luckily I found this video. Thanks!!
Very nice tip brother , yeah youre right that wv patentd with the drain hole is awful, i am sure wv can find more ways to avoid these leaks
Great info, full watch and like.
Nice one, thank you for info.
Like this kind of job that you have is so awesome and helpful
Brilliant, my windows have been leaking for about a year. Thanks for this great advice
This reminds me to clear mine again as they are leaking inside. It’s an awful design but it does help if the holes are clear.
They tend to get worse as time goes on. This is because the guides wear a flat surface causing the window to leak. Best to get the guides replaced when doing the drain holes then that covers you on two fronts😁.
Cheers for the info.
Top job Sir - thank you - certainly saved me a few quid. Appreciated
They are a bad design, even with those holes clear they aren’t great, but they do help.😎
@@LurgsHowToGuides Its a stupid design. Thanks though really appreciate your video. Sorted my van 🙂
Awesome
Brilliant Thanks for this.
Cheers, it’s a poor design
#FullSupport always dear friend
Thanks I'm away to try a can of compressed air for cleaning keyboards as my one of windows has sprung a leak. I use in roof drain holes of VW California, another weak point. Good tip for the windows is to keep channels clean and lubed with dry lube, they work a lot better.
johndgn Yes a weak design and incredibly they've put them on the new T6 as well! Hopeless.
@@LurgsHowToGuides yes they seem to carry over defects, think they'd get fed up with the warranty claims. More research reveals that the bottom locating pin(s) get worn as they are plastic (!) and then the window loses its seal as becomes loose with the drainage holes kicking in as back up so I might still have issues. I wonder if there are other better retrofit windows I could install later but I'll persevere with low cost solutions first.
hi, man! is there a tutorial on how to disassemble the sliding window of the T5 Kombi? because i have a problem with the glass the is gone out of the normal position (the glass don't remain perfect closed). thank you for the answer!
Don't think there's a video but check vwt4forum website as sure there are some instructions on there
thanks!!!@@LurgsHowToGuides

Here you go
There should be a recall from VW for this issue-this is my third VW van with the issue - 2 x T5, and now T6 with this exact issue. Or a class action by all owners - it's absurd!
When the VW T6 I literally couldn't believe they had the same rubbish leaking windows, madness. Really poor design. My inner door panels are all rotten where water leaks inside.
I'm trying that in the morning! The wet on mine was so bad that the door card warped, I opened the door the other day and now have scratches on the wheel arch where the card scraped across it!
Mine’s still not great, it’s a poor design, but having that drainage hole clear does help. Good luck
Done it and it's much better. The bottom of the frame is blown too so the window only opens one hole along. The other side was also completely blocked though thankfully there is no damage and the window opens fully. Next step is to see if that bottom piece of trim can be parted and (somehow) brought back to the proper shape.
This whole isue just got a lot worse - a T6 Kombi had it's slider window fall out due to corrosion behind the slider bottom rail caused by the known leak problem . The rusting [ which is hidden from view ] causes the bottom slider rail to sag / drop and the slider window falls out . A very serious safety issue with catasrophic implications .
I still can’t believe they put the same design on the T6 !
@@LurgsHowToGuides
Beggars belief ! Check out some of the latest posts on T6 Forum relating to this - a real eye opener to anyone with corrosion / leak problems .
Ouch. I was thinking about getting a T6 but it’s not much different to my T5 and they are so expensive! Was hoping youtube would make me rich but that’s not happening! If I ever do get rich I’d probably still get one but get a new Sportline Kombi and take it to ‘Pimp my Ride’.
It's not so awful invention, it just requires maintenance. There's not really any other way of doing this. Water will get inside any window that opens and it must then be led outside somehow.
It's the same for the T5's front doors actually. Water will get past the window seals, and water will run down into the doors. That's completely normal and it's like that on every other car out there. What folks fail to realize is that there is a small drainage hole on the bottom of the door that must be kept open. I've seen car door filled halfway up with water because of blocked drain holes in doors. The result is the doors rusting from the inside out, and you will not notice until it's years too late. So find those hole and give them a poke every now and then to keep open. Normal maintenance. That's all.
Good tips, I keep mine clear but it still leaks into the Cabin.
There are 2 drainage holes, one half way along, does anyone know how to clear that one? I cant see it to clear it!!! Mine are also clearing correctly on one side but the other side they are draining internally and externally. Looks like a plastic seal inside that is weeping?
Are you sure that's not just a hole for the clips when you slide the window along?
If you read all the comments there is a bloke who posted a youtube video on how to fix the leaks. Unfortunately it's just a poor design, even with mine clear they still leak!
@@LurgsHowToGuides definitely a drainage hole as the sliding door window has one and if i pour water in the channel it does drain at 2 points. Think I need to take the slider out and investigate further. You are right, it is a poor design though!
I'm going mad with this... I tried to clean the hole but if I try to put water with a siringe in the hole the water just leaks inside, no water goes outside!
ilmaichi It must be really blocked up then, it should appear outside! Try an air compressor in it to see if you can clear it through. It's a poor design, mine still leaks even though the holes are clear.
ua-cam.com/video/S5-HT0cl9A8/v-deo.html
But clearing the draiage hole only lets the water inside! There is no channel to the outside!
Mine had leaked for so long, the metal bracket holding the lower window runner had corroded away, leaving the runner bending up at the back. I cut one of them away and made up one from aluminium. It all fitted great but the window still leaked!
So i taped it up with black tape and lost interest in fixing it. Terrible design.
Yeh terrible design and they still put same design on T6. Can't believe humans put Men on the Moon yet they can't fit a window that doesn't leak. Mine still leaks now even with drainage holes clear.
This is not a drain hole but a locating hole for the pin to lock the window, believe me I've had four sets of windows changed on my old T5 and I've already had both windows changed on my new T6. VW know about the fault but have done nothing. Only solution is fixed windows or aftermarket ones.
It is such a poor design, can't believe they left it on the VW T6. Some guy on here has a fix for the leak, it's in the comments somewhere.
Make hole bigger as water going down that will stick together and not drain but take hole to 10mm and water will separate and go down hole. Basic science really
You need to email VW not me! Poor design really. Thanks for the info. I'm not feeling good after watching England get beaten last night.
Sorry but i was behind you, even being a scot in scotland. Practice penalties till sick of them, i say.
Trouble is you can practice forever in training but in a big final with tired legs and that pressure it’s totally different, although Maguire didn’t seem phased!
sorry. Would be be better to tell people how to fix the leak than how to drain the leak I’ve now done this in the comments for you ok yeah no worries hope you fix yours 🤙🏻
This just shows you how to clear the drainage holes. It's a poor design, where is your fix, I can't see it?
Lurgs yes it is poor, I’ve posted a link showing how to fix in comments below. Worth a look, it works I’ve just fixed mine
Mohamed I’m ard Bruce lee Ok thanks for the info. If anyone asks I’ll direct them to your fix. Cheers. Have a marvellous weekend.
@@mohamedimardbrucelee8564 where is your fix? I can't find the link
ilmaichi it’s in the comments of this video, but here it is again ua-cam.com/video/S5-HT0cl9A8/v-deo.html
You can buy a sliding window repair kit on eBay with all the bits required to replace worn out plastic parts causing the leak
Not convinced that this is a drainage hole.
It is but it's such a poor design, can't believe they put the same windows on the T6 !
