2009 R36 Wagon Sunroof exploded overnight while parked in the garage over night

[Mr Spitfire]

Yes one owner purchased new with full VW dealer service history...

That's really crap mate. I feel for you. Might have to keep an eye on mine now!!

[Mr Spitfire]

Just an update, VW Australia have pretty much told me to jump off a cliff...I will have to claim on my windscreen option with my insurance company...quote from my VW dealership is $1730 for a genuine sunroof including all labour and GST...which is a lot less than what I was anticipating to be honest,

The other unknown is that the sunroof can only be tested on the mechanical side after it has been installed...who knows the mechanism could be cactus...just have to wait and see,

Seems a one owner vehicle with a full VW dealer service history doesn't count for much these days...

[Mr Spitfire]

And I might add I will never buy another VW product again...

Thats is BS threaten them with I have booked a meeting with ACA.

Watch them change their tune.

Seeing it from VW point of view, you could have broken it as well, i rock could have damaged it etc etc.

Also, ACA is a joke.

Breaking it yourself, you would see an impact mark - it is evident that an impact hasn't occurred.

As well as the glass exploding from the internal side of the car indicates there there was a fault with the glass or surrounds.

I don't know then. you are out of warranty so SOL i guess. Take it to ACA.

But any bad publicity for VWA would be an issue for them.

Also you can see it is a internal explosion not one where throwing a rock would cause this crack

Unfortunately the reality is that these are the joys of buying a 2nd hand car. Although, truth be told - even if the car was newer and under its "new car warranty", it would be interesting to see if VW would accept this as a warranty repair or not.
