VW fit a better quality dashboard solar panel to at least some models- it
is removed before delivery to the customer and, I believe, returned for

Since there's a pretty solid bulkhead between the dashboard and the engine
compartment - where the battery lives - how do you connect tehtwo ? leads
out of the door and under the bonnet?

Presumably if you're a car manufacturer you install a suitable socket
(fuse protected but unswitched) on the wiring loom under the dashboard.
It doesn't have to be particularly high current for a small solar
charger.
