HELP! Flooding inside my Tiguan

I got a 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan SE R-Line and it has a water leak issue. At first, I thought that it's from the panoramic sunroof drainage, but then I had that replaced and the issue persisted somehow... WHAT'S UP? So I brought it to the dealership and had them take a look. They still haven't figured out where the water's coming from but it's not related to the HVAC! It's already FLOODED inside the car after the rain... I HATE IT! What should I do? I really like this car but I'm not happy about this.
 
I'm honestly that the dealership haven't been able to figure out the problem and solve it lets try going over other possible causes of the leak
Door Seals & Weather Stripping – If the seals aren't seated properly, water can get in during rain. Try running water over the doors and see if you notice any dripping inside.
Check the windshield, a poorly sealed windshield can let water leak in
Also the drains where the wipers sit can get clogged, check that
There could also be bad seams in the rear hatch area.
These are all the other possible causes I could come up with for now, I hope you get the issue solved
For a 2023 model, this is actually pretty surprising.
 
Yes, me too. That's why! It's a very recent model... so WHY! I'm not pressed that no one has been able to give me an answer yet because even the dealership is unaware. So thnaks and I appreciate that you did exhaust all the possibilities. I'll go ahead and check if those are the reasons.

alright, I hope you get to the bottom of it, do well to keep us posted here on the forum

since this is a brandnew 2023 model and they're still scratching their heads, you're pretty much heading into the Lemon Law territory. This isn't just annoying; it's a big safety and durability problem.
Seriously, don't let them string you along with endless tries without a clear plan to actually fix it or get you a different car
