| Description of the problem | Sunroof is leaking and creates condensation and mold inside the car. I have taken it to the dealership for repair and they performed a cleaning. Couple a weeks after i have discovered the sunroof is leaking again and contact the dealership again. They claimed they only cleaned the pipes but now they need to seal the pipe. At the same time i was there the dealer mentioned he is swamped with vw cars with the same exact problem with sunroof leaking and he is backed up. This appears to be a widespread problem with all vw cars and not just my model. The design of the draining system for the sunroof is faulty and create water penetration. I have researched this extensively and spoke with a few dealerships and it appears to have been a wide spread problem with vw sunroof. |
