Problems with 2004 Jetta - 8/27/2008 9:06:55 AM

Hello I have had a 2004 VW Jetta for a few months and have had a few minor problems I thought I would see if anyone had any tips on. First I have a tan interior that tends to get a little dirty and has been acquiring some watermarks around the sunroof from once I left it open when it started raining. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on keeping the interior fabric clean and also how to get marks out. Second there is a rattling or creaking noise that my center counsel makes, right under the CD player, when I go over bumps or anything like that and it sounds like something is rattling but really it is just the pieces of the counsel rubbing against each other I believe. Lastly I was wondering if anyone was experiencing any problems with the headlights as mine seem quite dim when driving at night. I know a dealer could help with most of these but the closest VW dealer in 1 1/2 hours way and I would rather fix whatever I can on my own.

Welcome! As far as the fabric, use a hose off a carpet cleaner. The rattling, while annoying, prolly isn''t that big of deal. The headlights are, however, pretty crappy made. Not very bright at all, so I just bought for $40 the silver stars, and they weork fine. Soime guys have the HID kit, and some have other stuff. I''ve saving up to get the black projector halo lights!!
