[Vwdiesel] Hurricane Hermine

[Shalyn Shourds]

  Here in Ft. Worth/Dallas, we just had the remains of the hurricane 
blow overhead.  I even got to see a tornado as I was fixing to leave 
work.  In Texas, that improves your social standing tremendously.  I did 
elect to stay at the plant till it passed.......   Worst part for me was 
going out to the car and seeing standing water in the front footwells.  
Doing some research on the TDIclub website (good to so some searches on, 
not nearly as pleasantly interactive as this list), I saw that there's a 
history of sunroof drains leaking.  I'd say that's the case as my 
headliner is now damp and sagging everywhere.  Furthermore, I found out 
that there's some kind of service campaign on this (not that they sent 
me the paperwork on that.....).  Anyone done the dealer service on 
that?  I suspect that both my headliner and carpet are hosed.  Not sure 
what they'll do for a 10 year old car, but I'm curious to try.  If 
anything, I'm just hoping to avoid drilling holes in my floor pan to 
drain the water.......
