Bilbos Design Volkswagen T5 recall: High top roof could detach or allow water ingress onto interior fittings
- What's wrong
- The glue used to fix the high top to the base vehicle overtime loses adherence. This may not be evident to the driver and water may cause none visible corrosion and could affect interior fittings. In the worst case scenario the high top could detach.
- What to do
- Contact a Bilbos Design dealer to book the free repair. Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a new high top moulding with a new glue product. Where necessary correct any corrosion issues.
