Re: Source for headlight lens
I recently purchased new replacement headlights from Bus Depot, a little bit pricey but a much better brighter light than original?

Why not just include them with the vehicle?

Re: Source for headlight lens
Just Google 7D1941005A
and you can find some-BUT- you will wind up buying the whole
assembly- haven't found lenses yet.

Re: Bunting on cabin filter housing
I used some "stick-on" felt- available at fabric or craft stores.
Mice haven't bothered it.

Looks like a critter got to the fuzzy stuff covering the
cabin filter housing on my 02 weekender. I know other folks
here have had this problem and I want to know what everyone is
using to recover the housing. Anyone use some cloth thing like
the oem stuff?

One of my EVs has a rusty hood latch cable that needs to be replaced. It caused the same problem where it wouldn't return enough to allow the hood to latch properly.? After some lubing and working it, I was able to juuuusssttt get it to latch.?
It could be that the battery install involved pushing or pulling on the release cable since it goes right over the top of the battery and could have been in the way.? I'd focus on the cable.
Good luck,
Kent

Alan,
Another possibility is that the battery was installed in such a way as to engage the hood unlock cable, so that the latch is always in the unlocked position.? It does indicate that an inspection of the battery installation area should be examined.? I'll go out and take a look at my 2000 GLS.? My battery is currently not installed.
v/r,
Mike?

A somewhat remote possibility is that they damaged the hood release cable, preventing it from releasing completely. -- Duane 05HD Rialta 209K Miles

sometimes the mechanism in the hood needs clean?and lubed so that the spring in it can move it back to where it started.? It can get sticky and stay in the "open" position.
|
There is no obvious connection between the battery replacement and the hood latch.? If trying to engage the second latch meets with a hard stop, it's possible that the second latch somehow got engaged.? If so, you can manually release it.? If the hood just doesn't engage, the latch may need to be lubricated or somehow got miss-adjusted.? You can adjust the attachment point using the nut that holds it in place.? I hope this helps.

Dropping the hood will only engage the first latch hook, Pushing again does not complete the latching process.
Got any suggestions?
For whatever it's worth, I should note that this started happening after a local vw shop replaced the battery.
Anyone have a diagram of the latch assembly?
