would that have had an NP229 with a 258?  Didn't think
they'd do that in a J10 unless it had the 360.

he didn't mention whether it worked in low range or not...

If it has np208, then it wouldn't roll in park IF the trans parking pawl
didn't pop. Being a 6 cyl it could have a 999 or 727 trans.

The problem with the driver's window is the goose neck part of the
regulator. It works just fine electrically. It has lost its rigidity and
just kind of flops around. I already have a new regulator on the way. Now I
gotta figure out the magically falling front door locks.

I've got a problem with my J10 driver's door. Can't lock it. Won't go down or lock with the key. When you're in your door take detailed pictuews if you can. Email them to me directly off list and with your permission put them on wagoneers.com to share with the list. 

Today I meet wiyth the insurance company to determine the settlement on the 03 Jetta wagon deer damage.  And hopefully get my 87 300d and 02 Jetta out of the shops. And visit my chiropractor for our necks and back after slaying bambi with our VW.   

I have pix up of bambi, not closeups, the coyotes got to the injured part.  Go to wagoneers.com! 2011. Look for the sept entries.

Absolutely! I'll get as many pics as I can and you cane certainly post them.
>From what I have read, the mysterious falling door locks have something to
do with the latch mechanism. Once I am in there, I bet I can figure out a
fix of some sort. My driver's door also just got a new lock/window master
switch panel over the weekend.

Speaking of that door, if anyone has a power mirror switch, I would love to
purchase it from you since the only one I can find online is on eBay and the
high bidder keeps taking the price up towards $200. (I would be the seller
has a dummy account that keeps bidding up on the item electronically to
drive the price up.)

Subject: RE: fsj: Fixed the tailgate window

The door catch has a spring that breaks (rusts and/or wears through) that is
supposed to work on an over center and without it, the weight of the mechanism
makes it drop.
   Several people (including myself) have used the spring from an old school
bumperjack or a rubber band to rectify the problem.
