Volkswagen Jetta sunglass compartment door broke, dealer installed new door on Volkswagen Jetta

Some Volkswagen Jetta owners report experiencing problems with the sunglass compartment door, including instances of the door breaking or failing to stay closed properly. Many users have resorted to makeshift solutions, like using folded napkins to secure the compartment and avoid obstructing the rearview mirror. Additionally, some owners have noted potential design flaws in the sunglass compartment door, particularly with the latch not holding well in hot weather conditions. Efforts to fix the issue by adjusting the locking mechanism or shortening the spring have yielded limited success for some users. For those facing this issue, it is advisable to seek professional repair or replacement from a dealer, as they can provide genuine OEM parts and ensure the repair is conducted correctly to prevent further complications.
