The reason most rattle is because no one puts all the screws back in....mine 
doesn't rattle much at all.

How do you figure? What's so different?

Um, have you looked at a 70's Rabbit harness lately? The American Rabbit 
harness is much less troublesome. Electrical gremlins were the plague of the 
early Rabbits, Sciroccos, Jettas.

I can't defend that one. I don't know why they went to the square 
lights...perhaps to make it look more "modern" or something. I know it didn't 
have anything to do with lighting standards because they contrinued to sell 
the Cabriolet with round lights. Oh well... I have them, and I'm not really 
that worried about it. Replaced with H4's, and complimented by clear corners, 
I think they look fine.

 American built VW's are about as good as a Dodge omni with a VW
