I purchased my 2016 VW Golf sportwagen in 2019. Soon after, there was a rainstorm, and I realized the panoramic sunroof was leaking heavily along the back panel of the car. The dealership I purchased the vehicle from had the car for about a month, and was able to correct the problem, as well as replace the headliner. VW issued a recall on the front sunroof drains in 2020, in which they modified the drains. Once this was performed, the sunroof began leaking again. I have had to replace the rear sensors, which were damaged due to water damage. This repair was extremely costly, but I was told I could do nothing about it, because VW won't cover costs from faulty parts. I am now looking at another costly repair of the sunroof, and a second headliner replacement, within 2 years of owning this vehicle.
