You are a baaaaaaad influence.

Knob ordered

Hey hey hey, don't blame me for your lack of self control!

Can't resist these knobs.

I like that er. 5/7 would order a blue or black version but I like the shape and look.

Is this the new VW thread? I have a CR70 film on the windshield and I think it cracked my windshield in the crazy hot sun while I drank beers on a patio for an hour. A perfect split from the mirror straight down to the hood. Fack.

When I have time to pull the film I will do so and talk to the about a warranty claim. Don't want to pay for this shit mangs.

Film can crack the windshield? That's bizarre.

Check your insurance for glass claims. I just went through them to get my windshield replaced so I only paid my deductible of $500. Remember it's $500 just for the recalibration....

Either the film or the windshield friggen snapped because the body tweaked in the heat? It the weirdest shit man. Perfect straight-ish line down from the mirror. I don't want to lose the film in this crazy sun so I'm going to wait a month or so and put in the claim. I wasn't sure if VW or Insurance should be my first stop. Insurance agents wouldn't care about the film so I guess that's better.

Hey did you know that if a VW tech puts through a claim that doesn't qualify he/she splits the cost with the dealership. What a crock of

Hmmm. I guess it's worth a shot to try the to see if they can warranty it since there's no impact marks.

Yes, I actually learned this last night. The heat gets concentrated and trapped on the tinted area.

This is why people who tint their sunroofs, especially with the new massive panoramic roofs, are warned it could shatter the glass and it will not be covered under warranty.

Not entirely true.

A warranty claim that is rejected is charged back to the dealership and they are forced to figure out how to eat it.

Ultimately, it's on the tech and service advisor to verify the criteria are met to be able to warranty the repair with correct documentation. All warrantable parts are subject to return to the manufacturer for random inspection and verification before a claim is paid back to the dealer. A competent warranty administrator goes a long way in this business.

I'd be interested to see who backs the "warranty".

The warranty company is not the manufacturer and it doesn't REPLACE the factory warranty, it is an insurance plan for a non-covered repair.

Let's say you tune the car, and 30,000 miles later it pops. Take it to a VW dealer, they diagnose it with a hole in the block and quote a $4000 short block, and 28 hours to R&R, with labor at $140/hr (which is a fairly standard mass market customer pay labor rate). It's deemed not covered by VW. A claim is submitted and this insurance company may come back and offer to pay $3500 for the block and 18 hours at $125/hr at the equivalent VW warranty guide rates/pricing. They may also only be willing to replace parts with used or aftermarket parts to lower their costs, also.

To a VW dealer, this is not a factory warranty repair and dealerships are not obliged to accept what the insurance company is willing to pay without collecting the difference from you.

It's nice to see them offer extra protection for peace of mind, but in general it's the old "pay to play" spiel. I deal with aftermarket "warranties" every day. Some are great, MANY are not.

Wow! Dealership definitely take care of their service advisors and techs in that case, having the wrong person in that rile could be costly. No wonder they are such tight wads with claims. It definitely feels like a lower level of service with all the mindset. Does Toyota do things differently?

One of my favorite mods on the Mk6 was the Unibrace XB. I know it was debatable how much it added but I really liked it. The huge downside of it was the install was a motherfucker. It wasn't "hard" but it was a real pain in the ass.

Fast forward to today and this thing that was just released:. https://www.racingline.com/vwr81g700

Similar product but it uses factory cargo mounting points at the lower and the seat latches at the top.

I suspect it won't be as effective as the Unibrace but if it's 60% or it for a SIGNIFICANTLY easier install, might be worth it.

Can you get a real alignment on a like getting some camber upfront? Or does the $500 alignments have to be to OEM spec?

Or that. Don't even really need camber, just get someone to set the toe to exactly zero all around and you'll liven up the car considerably.

[troyguitar]

Exactly zero should also fall within the factory spec so the shouldn't bitch about it. Really can't go wrong and ought to be $100ish.

Decent test for my new VW shop I've found. It should be easy but I'd rather start them with easy.
