Greetings all,
I'm thinking about a new 2016 GSW TDI SEL and want to get some one elses thoughts on something.
The extra large sunroof. It seems to me that replacing most of the metal of the roof with a plexi-glass material would significantly increase the possiblity of occupant injury in roll-over accidents. I mean it looks like the plexi-glass would be much easier to punch thru than a conventional metal roof.
I've had to have my 06 Jetta roof repaired in the past and the body shop owner commented on how strong the roof construction was and how difficult it was to pull out dents. He said it was one of the strongest roofs he had ever worked on. That made me feel really good about the structural integrity of the car frame.
Does anyone else think this is an issue? I wonder if VW designers have somehow compensated for the possible reduction in roof strength.
Thanks everyone for your time.
