Cracked Panroof surround TCR

[Watts]

Thanks for the update. So are VW replacing it under warranty? I've not heard from my dealer and haven't gotten around to phoning them for an update. Sounds like there are quite a few breaking then..

I’m still waiting to hear back from VW Ireland about mine , I’m
Just wondering is there any possibility that water can get into the inside of the head cloth via these cracks ?
As it looks like it could be a while before it’s fixed due to current virus crisis

No noticed any water ingress and I have pressure washed the car.

As unsightly as it may seem on close inspection, I would be tempted to put a line of black insulation tape over the crack?

I was thinking I might put a strip of tape on it as I could be waiting good idea

Yeah, work is being done under warranty. Having said that, my car was purchased new & I noticed the crack within the first week of ownership - supplying dealership was made aware on day 7 of ownership

Mine is cracked on both sides!! Dealer not reopening until 14th April, 9 months old 3 door, not impressed

Oh dear Scott! At least you can point them to this thread should they be difficult in sorting it under warranty. What spec/model is yours? Posting up some pictures would be useful to others as additional evidence.

TCR 3 door on 18” alloys, when I can work out how to upload pictures I will do

Well, the GTI is finally going back in tomorrow to get the pan roof surround swapped out & a few other little niggles sorted...hopefully
