One problem related to windshield has been reported for the 1996 Volkswagen Jetta. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Reported my defective window motor problem to vw dealer--they charged me $65 to diagnose problem then proceeded to tell me I have a defective motor assembley. It would cost $269 on top of the $65 to diagnose the obvious. I have been in touch with several 1996 Jetta owners and they are also having the same problems!!.
