Mk4 Owners Beware

["Joe Schueller" <joeschueller@hotmail.com>]

Not a big deal, but just a little something to watch out for...

The door trim strips on the Mk4 Jettas are not glued on all that well, and 
if the rear door starts letting loose, you can end up bending that one back 
at about 90 deg. (creasing it), and at the same time peeling off the front 
trim strip.

Luckily, when this little incident happened to me this morning, nothing was 
scratched.  I called the dealer, and it will take a week to get new trim 
strips.  I, of course, assume this will be covered by my warranty.  Even 
though it shouldn't cost anything, I lose an hour or 2 to getting it fixed 
and my baby looks like crap for a week, so excercise caution when opening 
the back doors.  Check if that strip is loose and get it re-glued if it is.

This is my 1st, and only problem with my '00 in the first 8 weeks and 2k 
miles (knock on wood).
