hi bernie,
The white one belongs to my mother. We just took the silver one on a 600km road trip over the weekend, really enjoying the car.
The roof is noisy as well (esp since we did the suspension). Here's a thread with a little more info: http://www.vweosclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2112
I had the roof partially open to try to adjust the shims and somehow the roof partly closed and put everything out of sequence. I had to go to VW to get the computer reset but now I'd rather just leave it alone and put up with the noise

Loving the APR !!
