Loose Headlining and Trim?

Post by Gilez »

I have had my Roc for just over 12 months now, and love it (apart from the odd rattle etc...).

Yesterday, whilst cleaning the inside I noticed the headlining above the rear window seemed a bit loose when I knocked it with my hand. Now, I am assuming it is a "design" feature, but there is a failrly large gap parallel with the rear windows (both sides) which you can litterally push your fingers into no problem at all, and feeling along its entire length, there doesnt seem to be any clips etc...to clip it to the roof or side of the car above the window, and you can actually pull it down quite a bit too. When I say it moved, i am not just talking a slight bit, I mean quite a bit like it wasnt fixed properly. Is this the same with everyone elses? It is the same both sides, so I am guessing that it just the way it is.

Also, when cleaning the inside of the rear window, again I noticed the trims around the window just dont seem to be fixed securely and move a bit.

I have heard a few people say about their disapointment with the VW build quality, and I must admit this has made me question it too.
I can rely on my car, it's my Roc!!!
