Hope this is not your California!

Spotted outside the main dealer

Really gives you faith in their abilities!

 

[Hamish S]

Oouch!, Glad it's not mine.

 

[Sunstoner]

Oh dear. Thats not a good look at all! :-(

 

[Karlos]

Glad it's not mine, don't like the colour.

Have you got anymore photos? - am thinking about bronze as a change from years of black vans but not actually seen one anywhere. Was thinking bronze with a few black bits, black 20" wheels, carbon fibre mirror caps & b pillars

Would be a bit of a nostalgia trip - had a Mk2 3.0 litre capri in that colour with a black vinyl roof in about 1985

The lights look really sporty from this angle. Very nice!!

Haha, mine came back from its last service with some roof fabric sticking out the front; no damage was caused though.

Should post those pictures on the VW Commercial Facebook page with a suitable comment.

Roof corrosion has got even worse on the 6.1

If it’s going to happen on a brand new vehicle then what chance have any of us got...

Lucky for you if you have a beach there is much less chance of major damage when the roof comes down. No matter how careful you are it can go terribly expensively wrong..

Cristoph was just looking forward to this today and tomorrow to have some fun with getting the insides of a van wet!

 

[Elmo3]

There have been a few photos like this. Even if the dealer can‘t operate the roof correctly, you’d think someone would have noticed and rectified. I’m glad my Cali is old enough to avoid main dealers!

Is that right? They’ve only been available for a year...!

Interested to hear whether this was based on comedy or actual experience (before I order myself!)

Not SMG I hope!

Looks like might be damage from the transport low loader, I cringe when I see all the lovely new vehicles crammed together with only inches of space between them, please let mine travel here on the top deck...

I don't think so, unless I'm missing another damage. Surely the roof has been up to attract attention / demo the van, and it's been put down carelessly, trapping the fabric?

Your right, thought it was a big crease in metal, but I now realise it’s the shape of the roof, doh

What a disgusting colour, would certainly limit your market for resale
