does not close automatically with the sunroof. The sunshade cannot be closed completely until the

and expensive damage that will not be covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty. Special
knowledge and tools are required to close the power sunroof if it will not close on its own. To help
prevent damage to the sunroof, have an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen
