Halfway though the carwash a few mins ago, and what is that i feel? Water dripping down my neck through the sunroof. Does it end there? Of course not. Out comes the 'Rocker Panel Blaster' which proceeds to spray ungodly amounts of water at the exact spot my sunroof seems to be having a bladder problem.... I was getting so drenched, i had to take off my glasses because i couldnt see through them....

Thanks VW! Always lookin out for those of us who neglect to take showers...

Leaks like that don't happen overnight. You must wash your car once or twice a year.:shocked:

He entered the carwash at a high rate of speed, and flipped his car over.

My co-worker's Jetta leaks through the roof console when it rains. Can't wait til he gets rid of it.

why, do you ride in it a lot?

The real question is, does the stick shift get in the way?

HEHE, reminds me of a similar experiance I had. Was in my mustang and the washers that come down the side spinning somehow lifted up the door handle and opened the door part of the way. From now on the doors are locked when I go through.

It's a very HIGH, rocker panel blaster. *nods head*

Either that, or his VW is WAY lowered. :D

Yeah, the wipers died on my VW just yesterday.

I should have bought a Toyota like I was GOING to. Toyota has never steered me wrong.
