     These key problems and sunroof closing should not be happening, take 
     your car to the dealer and demand to have them fixed, if they won't 
     comply, CALL VWoA and make a complaint and then make an apointment 
     with the factory rep.  I too had a leaky sunroof, the main seal had 
     failed and the drains could not keep up with the water that would come 
     in.  This was $500 bucks to fix so get it done under warranty.  Don't 
     be a nice guy for too long! I let a lot of things slide for a while, 
     now I have a Lemon car that I cannot return becuase it has been to 
     long!  Good luck.

Hi Folks.... THom here... near Pittsburgh. 
97 GLX... about 12k miles...
For the most part, I love it.... BUT...
     
I still have that annoying KEYLOCK problem. 
Sometimes, my ignition key just won't work. 
I sit there for up to a half hour trying. 
But you've all heard that before.
     
Now, my door key will NOT close the sunroof. 
It used to. In fact, the use of the key to open, 
close windows, etc is REALLY not covered too 
well in ANY of the books I got with my GLX.
     
Anyway, I'll see Jesus before the key will 
close the sunroof now. I have to do it by 
the roof mounted controls.
     
And by the way, I wonder if it was closing REALLY TIGHT 
before.... At work one day, it rained cats & dogs.
The receptionist announced on the building intercomm: 
"IF ANYBODY HAS THEIR WINDOWS OPEN, YOU BETTER ROLL THEM
UP... IT'S RAINING VERY HARD."  Very hard was an understatement. 
I thought the paint would come off my car. IT REALLY POURED. 
I was concerned though. I had my car buttoned up.... NOT!
I noticed some water on top of the roof sunscreen and droplets 
on my BIBER BEIGE LEATHER!!!
     
FURTHERMORE, the light greysih roof material was water damaged. 
I mean, discolored somewhat from the water. What will clean that 
back to factory fresh? It pees me off!
     
Any suggestions???? Similar problems with the sunroof?
     
Thanks...
Thom
