Pics: 8 annoying interior trim issues on my 13 year old VW Passat

These many parts shouldn’t be failing on a 13 year old/ 1L km run car under any circumstances. Its not like we treat the car roughly, this is under regular point A to point B usage.

Here’s my experience of owning a 13 year old German. I will only focus on the plastic and rubber parts that have given way due to the brutal North Indian summer heat. This is the current condition of my CBU 2010 Passat B6.

1. Glove box latch

2.  Cup holder sliding cover

3. Headliner

4. Door pad leather trim

5. Gear lever trim

6. Sunroof sunshade handle

7. Rear sunblind rails

8. Seat belt channel

Some other problems which haven’t been photographed include a failing blower motor, broken plastic gear in one of the power windows, failing power window switches, broken tabs for headlight dust covers, leaking windshield washer fluid reservoir, missing rear 12v socket cover, failing front passenger seat-belt height adjuster, .
