Hi, i'm new to the thread and planning on buying a 2009 eos but am afraid because there are owners out there that have had leaking problems and read from other forums that paint gets scrapped off every time the top goes down. Can anyone give me advice on the leaking situation? was the leaking problem fixed after one aplication?
Thanks everyone.

By and large most of the leaking issues are pretty much a minor issue in that fewer owners are reporting leak issues. Minor drips are easily fixed. Some of the major leak problems have resulted in car replacement. I have had my Eos almost 2 years and have yet to see any water inside mine. As for the paint scrape problem you mentioned, I have not seen or heard about that one. I do have my dealer currently looking at scrape marks on the rubber strip on the bottom of the rear window about 6 inches in from the end of the strip.

I have researched this car for 2 years and cant wait to by one, I am going for test drive on Sat and am so excited

thanks for the advice, I guess some owners are happier with their cars then others. I still plan on buying one despite leaking, Im going for test drive on Sat and am excited.

Once you try the Eos you won't want anything else. As for the problems you heard about these are only in a very small minority. Try it and I'm sure you'll buy it.

I did have a boot leak but after it went to VW to be sorted its been brilliant. I dont even get the water sitting in the sills anymore. Get an Eos, its fantastic!

Mine has never leaked... Except sometimes with a pressure washer, but that is to be expected... Even gail force heavy rain has never entered my car...

Regarding scraped painwork on roof operation, I am not sure where that came from. It's not technically possible unless there is a serious problem with the roof. If it is that much out of alignment, then the paintwork is the least of your worries!!
