A heads up for anyone who has a VWM harness that they bought in the last year and a half. I bought one 16 months ago and installed it 14 months ago.
It looked great and fit correctly. As it should for the price paid. However, now that it has a bit over a year on it, ALL of the rubber grommets on ALL of the Douglass connectors have failed! They are dried out, cracked and falling off. This leaves direct shorts from the wire to the shell and thus the chassis. This is an extreme hazard for both operability and fire.
PLEASE TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT YOURS BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS.
This has also happened on another M37 in my town with a harness of approximately the same age but only installed a few months ago.
