| Description of the problem | There was water leaking and i brought my vehicle to a vw dealership to repair. They investigated the vehicle and found out that water leaks from the sunroof frame. They stated that the leak is in a location that cannot be found and cannot be repaired. Thus i had to replace the frame. The sunroof frame is fault even i had no physical damage or accident on my vehicle. This issue needs to be seriously investigated since water leaking from the sunroof may cause many other electrical issues with the vehicle. |
