       Ken, that was me who made the original post after my friend who works 
in a VW shop near Toronto showed up at BusFusion with one of these solar 
panels.  He now tells me that they, the VW dealer, got a message from VW head 
office that all solar panels must be delivered with the car to the purchaser. 
 Ha !  I am still trying to get my hands on one.  No luck yet but hope to 
have one soon.  Eventually there will be piles of these lying around 
somewhere, since every new VW that comes into North America has one on the 
windshield.
