I bought this EOS about 9 months ago,drove for a few months and left it in Florida for the summer.When we were driving in the rain,water would pour in between the roof and front window.Today I tried to put the top down,and it only went part way with the back window on the roof.I can't close it.Tried to open the trunk,and it popped open,but was stuck on the right side. won't open.This is Saturday and no one is open.Have to wait to Monday.I wonder how much this will cost.Really love the car,but!!!

    I don't think a $38,000 car that is only 3 years old should leak rain in it all the time and the convertible top no work properly - It has been in the shop 5 times in the last 2 months and is currently in the shop fixing a problem that was supposed to be fixed last Friday. Volkswagen dealership service department mechanic even told me that 98% of EOS leak rain inside them and the convertible tops don't work.
