Carrier/rack Problems of Volkswagen Golf

Less than one year into ownership, the car has experienced a panoramic sunroof leak on both the drivers side and passenger side front area near the a-pillar and the sunvisor. There have been multiple reported incidents all over various sources on the internet. The sunroof, visor and dome light area is exactly the same design as the 2018 tiguan that has now been recalled due to sunroof leaks causing short circuits on the dome light thus causing a fire. The fear we have is that this is a low volume car so it's not getting the same exposure vs. The tiguan which is a high volume car and many more are on the road. In addition, this follows-up on several complaints made of the same issue on the 2017 alltrack model.

Shattered sunroof for 2017 vw Golf gti. Sunroof shattered following a loud noise with no obvious direct cause. There were no vehicles ahead and no overheads or bridges in the area. Event took place on August 16th, 2018 on a sunny morning (75-80f), at 45-55mph. The entire sunroof cracked following the loud noise and small pieces began to slowly fall on top of the see-through fabric sunroof shade that was closed at the time of the incident. Larger portions of the sunroof fell as the vehicle returned to a safe location to remove the remaining glass. Shattering glass poses a safety concern to drivers and passengers of the affected vehicles, in addition to nearby motorists that could get impacted by the glass debris at higher speeds. The use of laminated glass could prevent this safety concern to motorists.
