87'5000SQ ignition switch replacement/water at tailights/ sun visors



Hi fellow listers,
                            Have a question regarding
replacing ignition switch on 5000S; I've done  this
procedure on  the 5000/200 but have no idea how to get at
switch on this unit. One conclusion appears that entire dash
module must come off?.....(no).

I've noticed that there is a lot of pooling of water on the
ledge beside the taillights. When the trunk/boot is opened,
invariably a small flood of water drains into the trunk. The
ledge has surface rust in this same area.

I've heard something about drooping sun visors; is this a
chronic condition for 5000S?

Any other commennts regarding this recently acquired unit
would be appreciated. Thinking of using this car as
transportation for my daughter during university years.
Engine and manual trany are all functioning very well.
Fiqure that non tubo engine plus quattro makes for a more
reliable, less costly unit to run.

Thanks in advance,
tayo de boer.
