Talking of slight VW glitches - I used to drive VW's but I kept losing windows. The electric window mechanism is nice and strong, but the clips holding the glass onto the mechanism are quite brittle plastic, and when they snap the windows vanishes into the door with a whoosh!

Last time that happened it had just started raining and I had to take the door apart, push the window back up and travel 800 miles with it duct taped to the roof of the car.

Tell you what - duct tape rocks!
