| Description of the problem | The moon roof drainage line on the rear drivers side clogged up and significant amounts of water drained into my car. This happened whether i was driving or if the car was sitting in the rain. The water collected in the rear/luggage compartment well on the drivers side. This has the potential to result in mold in the car, which can be dangerous to human respiratory systems. More significantly, every time i got in the car my windshield would fog up, sometimes after a started driving, and i had to pull over to safely continue driving. But until i could drive safely, i was driving with impaired vision. When i took the car in to get fixed (or any time i talked to someone about getting it fixed) everyone had heard of this issue and there was no surprise it was happening. One technician told me "we see about one of these per day during the rainy season." so this is chronic issue with vws in general if they have a moon roof. I spent $385 to fix this problem. |
