I need to check mine and make sure I don't have any i guess.
Poll count ?Well according to the Poll count 1 person has done it and 1 hasn't.
On the top of this thread - A Poll to see how many Forum members have contacted Watchdog. Lots of members have posted complaints etc: but very few seem to have contacted the BBC. Unless significant members do then the BBC will probably just put it down to a few disgruntled customers. You need numbers to get their attention.Poll count ?
I did it on the watchdog site and it acknowledged my msg....
Yep you have to go to web view to see polls.The poll doesn't show for me on Tapatalk- only on web view. Is that normal?
Blistering Paintwork Front Roof Pannel
I have a 2009 California; I registered the roof corrosion in July 2014 with my local dealer (JCB Ashford Van Centre) and have chased them a few times about progress. My contact at JCB Van Centre was aware of the corrosion problem and recently contacted me so that he could take more photos.
Having seen the recent posts about lack of action by VW, I was about to add my tale to the forum but today I have been informed by JCB Ashford Van Centre that the repair has been authorised and I will shortly be contacted by A B Crush to arrange a date for the work.
In addition to the corrosion on the front panel, I removed the rubber trim around the elevating section for the first time yesterday and found sections like this:

Is this part of the warranty process, or is this considered to be "wear and tear" due to trapped moisture?
Just done Watchdog too....Well I've done the Watchdog submission - it was very quick and easy.
I've mentioned that lots of vans have been affected.
Hopefully if more people submit similar stories they'll be looking out for them.

It is supposed to have been fixed in Mid 2014 so that would be Model Year 2015.Hi everyone. I've been reading the forum for a long time but first post so please be gentle!The roof stories sound awful. I hope customers all get this resolved as no one deserves to be treated in this manner. It's actually really put me off buying a vehicle when I read this. We were about to purchase an ocean but now I'm wondering it to proceed at the end of the month.
Does anyone know if the problem has been fixed for sure on the T6? I can't get a reassuring answer from customer service or dealer.
Thanks for all help
