Door moldings fell off repeatedly. Tried to re-glue repeatedly. Finally lost and can't find replacements.
Power windows won't work.
Convertible top leaks.
Engine light stays on, but no one can find out why.
Interior door liner pulling away from the window.
Muffler buzzes when accelerating.
Trunk lock is difficult to work.
I wish I had found this website and all of these reviews before buying this car. No wonder I got a good price. The guy was probably thrilled to unload this piece of @#$!
Almost every problem I have read about has happened to my car. Volkswagen should be ashamed for putting this car on the road.
Nice body style, but not worth the trouble I've had. I used to think of quality and durability when I thought of VW. Many family members and friends had them and drove them for years. Not any more!
Your power windows might not work because of a faulty design in the regulator. ($$$) If your roof is leaking from the seams, you need a new top. ($$$$$) If not it may have been cleaned with detergent at some point, which wears off the coating they put on it to keep water out. You'll probably never find out why the check engine light is on- could be the airbag. ($$$$) If you want your truck to be easier to open then try leaving it unlocked and then just unlocking all the doors to unlock it. Sorry you're having so many problems, good luck.
