1Y0871579A Volkswagen WIRE

This wire—and there’s usually a couple running along the roof—basically delivers the electrical power needed for things like the interior roof light, the sunroof if you have one, and sometimes even the antenna. It's a pretty simple part, honestly, just a conductor for electricity, but it's responsible for keeping those features working. Think of it as a little highway for electricity, running along inside the roof panel itself. The panel is often metal, which doesn’t conduct electricity, so the wire provides the path. It connects the power source in the car to those roof – mounted accessories I mentioned. It's usually secured to the panel with clips or adhesive, so it doesn’t move around. You’ll notice if this goes bad pretty quickly. Suddenly your roof light won’t come on, your sunroof will stop functioning, or you’ll get static on the radio. It’s a small piece, but it acts like a shield, protecting the rest of the system from shorts or failing. A broken wire can cause a short circuit, and that's something you definitely want to avoid. You can find these wires pretty easily; Fixparts Online carries a good selection, and getting it sorted out quickly is best to prevent any more issues. It’s usually a fairly straightforward repair, but getting the right wire for your specific car is key. Get more value: Wire (MPN 1Y0871579A) is protected by a 12-month warranty!
