my son has a 97 passat wagon and (of course) the regulators are going or have gone bad.
can anyone help with experience/options for him? if it's me, i'd just set up a strap and latch setup (he's 17 and lucky to have a car to begin with). anyone done something like that? tia |

My mom's started to fall completely apart at 110K miles. This series was one of VW's worst quality cars ever built. If you have the opportunity, sell it fast. |
