Not to worry, this is a common occurrence in many vehicles because the foam insulation has become dry and brittle with age. It's annoying, but nothing to worry about.

How can I stop the black pieces of foam from flying out of the heating and cooling vents on my dash, ad well as the defroster. I have a 2003 VW Bug Convertible.

Do you know where the pieces are coming from? It looks like rodent damage to the ventilation system. You could take off the vent grates and run the fan on max until it is all out. If that doesn't work, you'd have to dismantle the ventilation system and clean it out. To stop it happening again, you need to know what caused it. If it is rodents, some traps in the garage or wherever you store your car could help, as could keeping it somewhere else.

Turn a corner and the hooter goes off!

I assume you mean the horn. This sounds like a wiring problem. You may have a wire that has lost the insulation, either by rubbing or by rodents. When you go around a corner, the wire shorts to either another wire or come grounded metal which sets off the horn.

1996 VW jetta will not start

You vehicle works off a standard ignition key which links to a electrical ignition switch. The wire from the switch goes to the starter solenoid. That wire has a fusable link which operates like a fuse. If to many amps surge through this wire it will melt down inside the insulation. The insulation will not melt away causing a headache to most novice mechcanics. Pull on the solenoid wire a few inches away from the solenoid and see if it stretches at least 1/8 of an inch or more. If it does it has an open stopping the continuity to the positive lug to the solenoid preventing it to work. Any auto parts store sells these fusable links. The counterperson will suggest the crimping supplies and tools needed to purchase for this repair
