Once inside with the door 'Haven't experienced this particular problem yet, but having just worked on our Jetta w/ central locking, I might suggest that you take a look at the inside part of the door lock where it connects to the actuator (the motor that actually moves the locking rod up/down)and see if moisture is getting in there causing a short. Your doors are supposed to be pretty well sealed w/ a plastic sheet covering the metal frame of the door. If it's still well sealed then you have to start looking up where the glass slides between the rubber strips on the way into the door and see if it's leaking onto the inside of the doorlock or actuator. Isn't WD40 supposed to displace water? Maybe you can try some on the lock/ actuator. Good luck. Norman OA/NT Sys. Sppt. nleong@baynetworks.com "#@&%!$...Hold your line!..."
