We are shortly due to take delivery of a VW T5 motorhome and I would be interested to know if anyone with a recent model has experienced water ingress at the sliding windows. I know this was a problem with some early T5s and I would like to know if the problem still persists.
Never had any problem with leaking sliding windows in our 4 1/2 year old T5 Multivan. Although we have had a replacement auto gearbox, replacement waterpump, new heater control unit, new electric sliding door mechanism. It is a terrific vehicle to drive but the bills are getting me down a bit !!. VW will have sorted out some of the problems now won't they? Definitely get an extended warranty though just in case !
Yes I agree they are fantastic vehicles but watch out for water pumps and broken rear coil suspension units....VW still have'nt sorted this problem out yet............
Mine is a 2005 model and I have had no problems but I know that people who park their T5s on a slope get problems-can't remember if nose up or down causes the problem!

Had T5 Californias for 3 years, never had so much as a drip from any windows. I was aware of a couple of window leaks on the early T5s but I think that they were resolved in or around 2006. Magnificent vehicles and I have found that VW are very fare.
did u get your t5 and have the windows leaked yet?? have a 07 california and am on my 3rd set of windows and they still leak after second set did not open them and they didn't leak till we opened them - find that parking nose uphill makes the leak worse
So far so good! Got it last March and we are extremely pleased with it. No water ingress but a bit of condensation during a couple of very cold nights recently. Otherwise no complaints.
