1994 Volkswagen Jetta GL review from North America
"Good A to b"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I'm reading that a lot of you are having problems with the sunroof leaking and the front cover above the firewall. Don't mess around with un-clogging the sunroof drains. What I do is apply a bead of ordinary clear silicone in the fall and don't open the sunroof untill the weather is nice again. I've experienced this problem with other makes/models and this is the best way to deal with this problem. In the summer the clear silicone will peal off no problem and leakage is a non-issue in the summer. Oh and as for the firewall- look for any cracks, even the smallest cracks can let moisture in.
General comments?
Real good on gas.
