I also updated the vent faq page. I added some more jetta specific pics and the writeup got too big so I split the mk3/mk4 articles into their own separate writeups. it can be viewed here

If you want to reupholster it, add soundproofing, fix the window, etc

Nice writeups, the vent was very easy to remove.

Wow, the Jetta's door panel is so thin! How much soundproofing can you fit in there?

As much as you want? I can't believe that it's that thin. I guess that's one of the differences between the jetta and passat.

That's right, if you are changing the oil, make sure that the old gasket is off. The Honda CRX SUV had a problem where the oil gasket was left on and the resulting oil leak onto the exhaust caused fires.
