    Windshield replacement on Golf

    I need to get my windshield replaced on my Golf. I've had some really bad experiences in the past with glass shops. Does anyone know if the glass shop will need to remove the interior A-pillar plastic covers to replace the windshield? If they do need to be removed, how do they come off?

    bad luck, Chummy

    On Wednesday night here in Maryland we had heavy rain. I got distracted turning into the Safeway parking lot and ran over the curb. Before I knew it, all four wheels were on the sidewalk. Oh, so embarrassing for Mr. Magoo. Worst yet, is I popped the tire sidewall and ruined my alloy wheel. I...

    bike rack

    For a 2014 Golf, any recommendations on a roof rack to carry bikes? Or is the hitch-mounted bike rack the way to go? I already own a nice Thule hitch-mount bike rack, but no hitch on my Golf. I really don't care for the look of a hitch on a Golf.

    A/C in Golf

    Coming from a Subaru Forester, the A/C in my Golf seems chill'in in comparison. For instance, in 90 degree weather the only way cold came out of the vents in the Subbie is to get the car moving, but the Golf throws cold air within a minute while at a stand-still. So what is the difference...

    door ajar

    Yesterday my door was not closed fully. Instead of telling me the door is open, the MFI displayed something about put the shift selector in Park. That made me think my transmission is fubar. Why doesn't VW just tell my door is open?
