If you work it out can you let me know please as I'm afflicted with the same problem! I'm going to drill a drain hole in the mean time

No worries cheers Kev, i did have a read of that first that's where i got the idea.
Don't worry I won't literally just drill a hole and be done with it

Many seem to have solved this by simply using a cable tie at the bottom of the vent. This diverts the water away quite nicely. Fella you need to speak to is AngeloEVS as I know he did this although using a watering can on the roof, you can get some ideas of the route and where to put the tie.

Great thanks for the tip, I'd read about the cable tie trick too so will have to give that a try

seems like a bit of design flaw though hey lol

remember this was a van designed for humping stuff around, VW never expected your head to be parked under the vent for the night
