“The sun roof drain tubes shrink and separate causing a water leak inside of the car and continuing down the a pillar. There are air bags located in the a pillar, and this water migration, will over time, have an affect on the operation of the air bags. I know of three friends with jetta sportwagens within this body style, mkvi, that have the same problem. Volkswagen has denied fixing this problem at their cost, they say it is out of warranty. This is going to be a safety, and liability issue, it may already be one, and it should be a recall item, fixed at their cost. …”
