I've been chasing this problem in my GLI recently as
well.

I was able to turn the raging river into trickle by
replacing the Fuba antenna.  If your antenna is still
good you can probably just replace the gasket.  I went
from getting 1" of water behind the drivers seat to
that area getting maybe .25".  Now I have to start
checking other things to totally seal the car.
