UPDATE Technical Bulletin • Inspect the sunroof water channels for stress cracks • There are a total of 12 areas to inspect for cracks. NOTE • • • Left side is shown. Inspect the same six areas on the passenger side. More than one crack may be found. All cracks will need to be repaired.

Failure to seal all cracks and install all 12 foil patches will result in a repeat failure. Page 8 of 19 © 2017 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

UPDATE Technical Bulletin • For all cracks, put a 1 mm bead of sealant (Teroson MS-930, part number D 172090A2) over any existing cracks, 1 at a time. Start the sealant bead as far under the sunroof trim as possible and pull the bead to the end of the crack. NOTE • • The nozzle supplied with the sealant is already cut to a 1 mm opening. Only work on 1 crack at a time due to the short cure time of the sealant. Page 9 of 19 © 2017 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

UPDATE Technical Bulletin • Using the squeegee supplied with the repair kit, spread the sealant pushing it underneath the trim panel from the inside edge of the roof opening to completely cover the crack. • Remove all excess sealant from the water channel. There must not be any excess sealant that may prevent the foils from being applied completely flat to the water channel. The crack should be filled with sealant with no excess sealant around the crack. TIP Cleaning solution (part number D 00940104) can be used to remove any sealant smears in the surrounding areas. • Spread sealant working from sunroof opening to underneath the trim panel. Sealant should fill crack and there should be no excess sealant on the water channel. • Repeat process for all cracks in frame. NOTE The sealant must not be allowed to dry before installing the foil patches. • Apply the foil patches one at a time according to the sequence shown. NOTE Foil tapes must be applied in all 12 positions regardless if there is a crack or not. • For foil positions 4 and 6, it is more important to apply the foil as far underneath the trim panel as possible then attempting to align the foil with the seal channel. • Foil positions 4 and 5 should not overlap each other.

UPDATE Technical Bulletin • DO NOT cover the water drain hole or the witness line around the water drain with the foil in positions 4 or 5. • Peel half of the backing tape off the foil and fold it over to use to hold the foil during application. • Align the foil with the edge of the water channel and apply the foil, working it forward using the included squeegee to ensure there are no air bubbles, wrinkles and that there are no gaps under the foil. • Peel backing tape off as you work forward. • Use the squeegee to work the tape down as smooth as possible. TIP • There may be a burr on the water channel in this location that appears to be an air bubble. This is normal and an acceptable condition after applying the foil. • The foil positions are designed to cover witness lines in the water channel. It is normal to see a line in the foil after it is applied. Page 11 of 19 © 2017 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

UPDATE Technical Bulletin • In position 6, peel half of the backing tape off the section of foil to be placed underneath the trim panel and fold it over to use to hold the foil during application. Ensure the tape is as far underneath the trim panel as possible before beginning to adhere it to the water channel. Apply the foil working it toward the rear using the included squeegee to ensure there are no air bubbles or wrinkles and that there are no gaps under the foil. Peel backing tape off as you work. Use the squeegee to work the tape down smooth and as far underneath the trim panel as possible • In position 5, peel half of the backing tape off starting at the pointed edge in the radius and fold it over to use to hold the foil during application. Carefully align the radius of the foil to the radius of the seal channel and ensure the drain hole and witness mark around the drain will not be covered. Apply the foil working it forward using the included squeegee to ensure there are no air bubbles or wrinkles and that there are no gaps under the foil. Peel backing tape off as you work. Use the squeegee to work the tape down smooth and as far underneath the trim panel as possible. Page 12 of 19 © 2017 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

UPDATE Technical Bulletin NOTE Foil position 5 incorrectly applied covering witness line around drain shown. • In position 4, peel half of the backing tape off the section of foil to be placed underneath the trim panel and fold it over to use to hold the foil during application. Use a pivoting motion to swing the foil underneath the trim. Ensure the tape is as far underneath the trim panel as possible before beginning to adhere it to the water channel. Apply the foil working it from underneath the trim toward the sunroof opening. Use the included squeegee to ensure there are no air bubbles or wrinkles and that there are no gaps under the foil. Peel backing tape off as you work. Use the squeegee to work the tape down smooth and as far underneath the trim panel as possible. • Use a pivoting motion to work foil underneath trim panel in position 4.

UPDATE Technical Bulletin • Foil position 4 fully applied. NOTE It is more important that the foil in position 4 be applied as far underneath the trim panel as possible versus attempting to align it to the edge of the seal channel. • After all six foils have been applied to one side of the water channel, repeat steps on the opposite corner of the water channel. • Once all 12 foils have been applied to the water channel, inspect the foils to ensure they are completely flat to the water channel and that there are no air bubbles or gaps underneath the foil. Use the squeegee to help push out any defects • Use a flashlight at different angles to help identify any air bubbles. If any foil needs to be removed and reinstalled, discard the foil and use a new piece Page 14 of 19 © 2017 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. All rights reserved.
