I cannot tell you how many people I know whom own late model VW's that have experienced the same window problem. Just last week i went on a trip with some friends, we were in a 2002 Passat GLX Wagon, and I was the lucky one to sit by the window that likes to fall down. I spent roughly 240 miles holding the window shut!
Hope u have better luck with your cars!

LOL ! I feel for ya !
As an Ex- Yankee (born & Bred) I've had this problem on old rustbuckets when I was young ~ a full book of paper matches carefully jambed in the lower window sash will usually hold it up.......

man if a dealer will do that to me especialy if i had a luxury car as Passat is I would talk to the manager and VW of America I'm surprise in a very good way with the service I'm having, they are reparing my window same day 0$ charge and they are doing my brake recall.(they just called to confirm that the car will be ready today 0$ ..) I was expecting to go to war to get them to do it today and then to go again at war for not paying

It costs you enough, you get screwed hard enough, why not get good treatment from the dealerships? Disgusting though...the place that is supposed to be the "best" people to work on your car are actually one of the worst...(in some cases) No hands other than my own have touched my cars since I got them

Yeah that sounds about right for a couple of German cars!
 Why bother with the wheel locks? No one steals them unless you have a $5k+ set of wheels on the car. My friends sister has one on her Acura for the OE wheels. They are not worth anything and it is a royal pita.

Ok I am spoiled, I don't lock my cars half the time. Even in New Haven I never really felt the need for wheel locks.

A couple of years ago, my wife's Nissan Maxima had all four wheels stolen one night right in our driveway. They jacked up the car, removed the wheels on one side, blocked it up with big rocks, jacked up the other side, took the wheels and left their jack behind. My doberman slept through the whole thing in our bedroom--not a peep! Maybe she'll be more protective of a fellow german (the SDL) than a japanese
