I wouldn't call that permanent and man is that stuff expensive for such a small sheet (6ft x 5ft).
its a small price to pay when i have solved two problems. plus, $75 isn't going to be the end of the world and over the 5 year period it is supposed to last (i think it will last much longer with proper care), it will have paid for itself. the alternative was removing the headliner and solving the leak only for it to leak again.. no thanks.

i did pull the sunroof fuse. last thing i need is somebody trying to use the sunroof while its wrapped :)

i will post pics when i figure out how, all you see is the outline of the sunroof. good enough for government work, as we say :cool:

Has anyone successfully repaired theirs? I don’t have a warranty and mine leaks when I get it washed, when it rains, or if our neighbor is watering their potted basil plants.

Just got a letter from a law firm for class action lawsuit for leaky sun roof.
Anyone else?

Signature.
I’m more curious what the letter said. Because their website looks like a scam.

That said, the sunroof issue is absolutely something that should be a class action or have an extended warranty.

How have you made out with yours?
Mine's been sitting in the garage since I bought it, hasn't seen any rain but that will change once spring hits. I too feel VW should take care of this issue if we are out of warranty.

My sel bakes in the Florida sun all day and sees rain constantly. Fortunately zero leaks for me (knock on wood!)

How far to the edge did you go? I was looking at mine and it seems it would be hard to take it all the way to the edge. It has a small drop off that water would still travel down to drain off. Any pictures yet?
