What owners say
While traveling down the highway the drivers side window fell into the door. The call is undrivable in this condition as it is around 20 degrees outside and the car cannot be locked securely due to absence of window. The dealer wants to charge us $456 for a window regulator and motor.
I bought an 2003 vw jetta wolfsberg on jan. 17th, 2007. I was driving on an interstate and hit a bump and the right passenger window fell into the door panel. I went to the dealer and they said they could fix but its out of warranty and I will be responsible for all charges. I called vw and they said there are no known defects or any pending at this time.
