Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Rear Window Film Bubbling / Peeling Off
I have a 2011 sonata and the rear window film is bubbling/peeling off the window to the point where it is hard to see through. The car is a month passed the warranty. I can't tell if this film is part of the defroster grid, or something separate that can be peeled off easily and replaced, or if I need a new window.

There's a film peeling off the inside of the drivers window. I didn't even know there was a fim there, I assumed the tint was in the window itself. It appears that it is shrinking away from the left edge and along the top of the window itself. The piece along the top edge has peeled off and is now actually flapping in the breeze! 1/8 to 1/4 inch, tops.

I have a 2002 VW Cabrio (convertible) and the back window is beginning to peel away from the canvas roof. We called a mechanic who says the entire roof needs replacing. This seems crazy as the the window just appears to be glued to the canvas.

One of the high-pressure lines on the back of the rack, close to the exhaust, has rotted out. It was smoking as it leaked right under the exhaust pipe and burned off. The rest of the freshly filled fluid was all over the ground. I crawled under and got a good look at the high pressure line, but where to source these, and if they are even replaceable? I have not tried to remove it yet, but perhaps a shop could bend a new one as a cheap alternative to a new rack. I was also thinking of checking out the pick n pull for a line.

Just noticed today that the rubber seal around the window, a small part of the rubber seal, has peeled.
Talked to the dealer and initially they said that it could have been the tint shop's fault because they may have been their fault.
Called the tint shop and they explained their process and after doing little research of my own and watching youtube videos, it is unlikely that the tint shop could have done this.
Called dealer again and explained to them that i talked to the tint shop and after hearing their process and after researching their process, it may not have been the tint shop but just a small mistake on hyundai/dealer part. they said the best they could do is take a look at the car, but not guaranteed they will fix it.
Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Door Handle And Window Switches Are Peeling
Got the common problem of the door handles and windows switches peeling in my 2006 Passat. I wanted to buy replacements, but only if I could buy parts that won't peel again. For the window switches, I was looking into these:

Would non-VW parts be a problem? As for the door handles, I heard the new versions of the B6 have door handles that won't peel, but I haven't been able to confirm. If so, how can I recognize the newer parts from online stores? How to completely peel them? I don't mind the look of the plastic underneath.
Phaeton :: Replacing Window Shield And European Tail Light?
My insurance is pay to replace my window shield on my 04 Phaeton V8. I am going to use VW glass. Will I have a problem with the installation because it's not the same as the factory? I am nervous.
My rear tail lights need to be replaced. I am thinking of using the European tail lights to get the Amber rear blinkers and to get the foglight. On OEMPL.us website, it indicated that I will lose the cats-eye side reflector. What is that and where?

View 1 RepliesGolf VI R :: Passenger Window Will Go All The Way Up Then Roll Back Down 2 To 3 Inches
So for some reason today, my passenger (front) window decided that it doesn't want to stay shut when I auto roll it from both the driver and passenger side switches. It will go all the way up, and then roll back down approximately 2-3 inches like it is doing a pinch protection. If it is rolled all the way up manually it stays up. I have visually checked the track and don't see any obstructions, which I didn't expect to find since it will stay up when done manually. Is there something I'm missing or an easy fix?
View 6 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Passenger-side Window Clicks Sometimes When Going Back Up
Hard to replicate this, but my passenger-side window "clicks" sometimes when going back up. Not sure if it has to do with humidity or not.
I think this is expensive to repair, so I wanted to get some opinions on this. Right now the car has 27k miles on it (I believe the standard warranty ends at 36, right?). If I only hear the noise a few times a month, should I be overly concerned with this? Is this normal in cars? The speed at which the window goes up is normal and matches the driver side (which does not click).
Every time I get maintenance done (for example, just got the 30k done today), the mechanics always tell me that they can't find it/don't know what I'm talking about.
Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Will Tire Size Mismatch Front To Back Damage Transmission
I just had new tires put on my rx330 and had an unbelievable combination of errors occur. The tire store put on 215/65 r17 tires on the front and 235/65 r17 tires on the rear. I know this sounds impossible but that's what happened. So I ended up with a substantial mismatch in tire sizes front to back.
Unfortunately I didn't discover this until 2 weeks later after driving around 225 miles half of which was high speed highway driving. Before the tires were changed the car ran straight without any pull to either side. Now it pulls to the right.
The tire store has offered to replace the tires with the correct ones and to compensate me for any damage to the transfer case, viscous coupling unit or transmission.
So how do I determine what level of damage occurred if any? Would all the damage be evident already simply driving the car. Alternatively, would the damage be a reduction in the operational lifespan of the drive train leading up to a "surprise" future failure?
The tire store has asked for an estimate of the repair costs which will be evaluated by an appraiser.
I don't want to identify the tire store until after a final settlement has been reached. However, it is a popular nation wide tire retailer.
