These little guys are basically vibration dampeners. They sit between the roof panel and the vehicle's frame, and they allow a small amount of flex. They also help absorb road noise and keep things a little quieter inside the car. Think of them as cushions – they prevent metal – on – metal contact. The roof panel bushing’s job is to isolate the roof from the main body of the car. Without it, every bump and rattle would travel directly into the cabin. It's a small part, but it plays a bigger role in overall comfort and reducing wear on the panel itself. It helps the roof panel move slightly with the vehicle, without causing stress fractures or loud noises. Honestly, you’ll notice if these go bad. You’ll start to hear more road noise, maybe some creaking or rattling sounds coming from the roof area when you drive over bumps. It's not a safety issue initially, but letting it go can eventually lead to bigger problems with the panel or its attachment points. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and replacing them isn't terribly difficult, but it does require taking the roof panel loose a bit. It's a relatively inexpensive fix that can make a big difference in how comfortable your ride is. Volkswagen stands by its products: Bushing (MPN 1Y0871180) includes a 12-month warranty!
