I had a friend with a 1999 Jetta that oozed from the bottoms of the door. I
guess it was the sound insulation. He had it drip on his date's new heels,
and that was the end of the date.
He phoned the VW dealership and they said "Oh, that was a problem with the
1999 Jettas. VW the problem immediately and only a few cars were affected."
I bet him $5 that they would say to me the same thing if I said I had a
2004. SO, I called the next day with an obviously different voice. Guess
what, same line from the dealership. "Oh, that was a problem with the
2004's. They fixed the problem..."
I don't trust any one of them.
I justify my tool purchases with logic like this.
Happy New Year!

Must be the adhesive holding the glass to the plastic frame that is
deconstructiing/melting/dribbling away...

My '85 300TD has an oozing mirror...same yellow foamy stuff. The first
owner bought it in OKC and sold it to a guy in Houston after a couple of
years, and I bought it when it was 5 years old, so it's been in Houston
for
the better part of its 20 year life. I know I never did anything to the
mirror, and owner #2 was a banker who barely knew how to open the hood, if
you get my drift, so I don't think it's a PO done thing.
My vote would be that it's from being baked in the sun...probably the same
thing that causes the Grand Canyon cracks on my dash. Although...my wife
might say that the air pollution in Houston had something to do with it.

Yes, Interior rear view mirror. The cases I have seen are IDENTICAL and
that
makes me think it is not a PO done thing.

the INTERIOR rear view mirror?
My '95 E300D (W124) has that yellow foamy stuff around the edge of the
interior mirror glass.
I figured the glass must have fell out sometime.
And a PO reglued it with propylene glue or whatever that expanding yellow
persistent glue is called.
This car came from Texas. Maybe the summer heat did it?
