I am sorry if this is a double post, but I would like a legal opinion, a new golf purchased 3/4 weeks ago, as soon as the cold damp weather arrived it is wet inside the windows, not damp WET, by some of the answers I have had on the other section it seems like it is not unusual, surely if water is getting inside and the dealer can't fix it it must be grounds for rejection, or am I wrong?

How long have you had the car and what have the dealers told you?

Assuming they can fix the fault I think the only reason for rejecting the car would be if it was damaged in transit + poorly repaired before you took ownership.
Had it for 3 weeks, issue had just arisen not been to dealers yet, if they can fix it, then no problem's just think by comments from elsewhere that they are built like that if so I don't want to keep it.

Are you suffering a bit of buyer's remorse?

Worrying about rejecting a car you've not even tried to have repaired yet would suggest so.
No Mark, this is certainly not a case of buyers remorse, or at least not the way I think you are implying, on the other hand I have paid out almost 20k of my own hard earned, so that my wife would have a nice reliable car for a good few years to come, then the first bit of bad weather we experience results in the inside of front and rear screens been as wet as the outside, now I accept if the dealer can fix it then it may well be OK, but if you read other comments this seems to be not unusual, if this is the case then yes you are correct I do regret buying it, bitterly, please don't tell me that you would feel otherwise.
