There was a VW recall on that, but the time lime on the free fix has run out. You may - or may not - find the parts at a VW dealership, or they may or may not - be able to even get the parts anymore. But the parts were two simple aluminum plates that were mounted in the ceiling to hold the AC tunnel up. If you want the original fix and are willing to pay the attendant price tag for the "Official" fix - go for it. But to me, for what it cost, now that the free fix period is past, and for what it does, like the Lil' Boy sez "It ain't worth it!" Make yourself a two inch wide aluminum or soft flex-steel strap, bend an ear on each end, and screw the thing to one of those channels in the ceiling of the van, pulling the tunnel up tight with it. Paint the strap a nice color. Rarely if ever noticed, and it works. No more worries the thing is going to fall in the floor while your are driving 60-70 mph in freeway traffic, scaring the bejeebers out of you at some critical moment.
