Post by: vwboop on October 22, 2005, 01:59:39 PM: missed the Bosch antenna too. These are a rare and pricey item now. WhyTF would they risk stealing a $50k vehicle for doors and windows. I'm with Steiner. Let me know when you find out who. Hulk are you in?

- not familiar with this acronym WTH are you saying B)

BTW good observation on it bein a Kombi owner Mr. CSI guy. I don't know about later though as the doors wouldn't have been push button. I really don't think they were that smart though to know there's a difference. WTF were they thinking....they'll have to weld up all the holes in the doors from the deluxe trim
