    Water ingress class action settlement

    09-24-2012 09:48 PM #1
    Have a 99 beetle with sunroof and got notice of a class action settlement for water ingress. Searched the forum but could not find anything about this . Was there a problem with water leakage from the sunroof? Bought ours new in 99 and it has been outside all the time without any problems.

    I've not heard of a class action, but there was a recall on the sunroof drains.

    Yeah, there was a recall due to a class action lawsuit. Just take it in, and they'll clean out the sunroof drain for you, and make sure it's not clogged. I'm still hoping that they do one on the airbags on these cars. I've heard about a lot of VW's with the airbag light on because of bad wiring.

    I have a 2000 GLS. Got a notice regarding this in the mail, which was the first I'd ever heard of the issue. I figure my car's 13 years old, and it's never had a problem. If it was going to, it would have a long time ago, so I'm just ignoring it.

    Yup, same here. I've not had any issue with this.
