WE PURCHASED THIS CAR 8/17/02. ON 8/21/02, WHILE PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WE ATTEMPTED TO PUT DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW UP AT WHICH POINT WINDOW GLASS FELL DOWN INTO DOOR PANEL. WE HAD TO DRIVE 30 MILES TO THE DEALER TO HAVE REPAIRED. THE REPAIR WAS NOT FINISHED UNTIL 8/21. WE WERE NOT TOLD OF ANY POSSIBLILY OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN NOR THAT THERE WAS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION OR ANY ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE. TODAY, 9/14/02, WHILE AGAIN PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY, WHILE PUTTING PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW UP, THE GLASS FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL JUST AS THE DRIVER SIDE HAD LESS THAN A MONTH AGO. THESE ARE POWER WINDOWS. WE AGAIN DROVE CAR TO DEALER 30 MILES AWAY - WITH A THUNDERSTORM BREWING. THIS WAS A SATURDAY AND SO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT OPENED. NUMEROUS SALES PEOPLE MADE COMMENTS THAT THEY HAVE SEEN MANY VEHICLES COMING IN WITH THIS PROBLEM - THEY SHOWED US A BOX OF BROKEN CLIPS MADE IN USA FROM CARS ALREADY REPAIRED AND SAID THE VW WAS GOING TO REPLACE ALL CLIPS WITH METAL ONCE MADE BY PANZER. WE WERE TOLD THAT IN TEMPS ABOVE 75 THE CLIPS ARE FAILING. WHY IS THERE NO DEFECTS INVESTIGATION. IF THIS DEALER HAS FIXED THIS MANY CLIPS ALREADY. ALSO, IF THE DEALER KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THEN WHY, 3 WEEKS AGO WHEN THE FIRST CLIP FAILED, WOULD THEY NOT HAVE REPAIRED THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE THEY WERE FIXING THE DRIVERS SIDE. PLEASE HELP.

MY CAR WINDOW FAILED ONLY 3 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERS AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE VOLKSWAGEN CORPORATE OFFICES THAT THE REASON THEY CAN'T GET IT FIXED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IS IT IS ON BACK ORDER FROM THE FACTORY BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE OR PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW CLIPS BREAK IN OVER 50% OF NEW VOLKSWAGEN GTIS AND GOLFS WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR.*AKY
