got a 2002 GTI

my driveway slopes at about 5%

if i'm parked in the driveway when it rains, i get bad leaks. even in a light rain, i get a puddle on the driver's side floor

no leaks if parked on level ground, no matter how hard it rains.

any ideas?

Yeah, Volkswagen vehicles seem to have this problem with leaks. I heard the Eos also has the same fault. Does Volkswagen know about this already? Seems like a pretty widespread problem to me.
