They are a very fussy bunch - they shouldn't have bought a MK6 if there would be this many problems.

I just went for a drive and there is hardly basically NO wind noise when the windows are up.

I second that ... however it also depends on a speed and wind direction... but yeh Im yet to see car that had sunroof that didnt make woooofing sound at any condition...

Haha just looked at the VW watercooled banner - classic windows down arm hanging pose in Mk 1! I bet a lot of people who drive with windows down have their aircon still on and are 'arm hangers'.

He probably isn't getting good fuel economy with the wind drag on his arm and window down.

So I got my tints put up today.. Happy. Sort of!

I put down just the rear windows (all the way) and my ears nearly blew out. I am not joking. It is so damn loud it ridiculous. I remember this sunroof I used to have did it at about a quarter of that rate, and I thought THAT was bad.

Can some GOLF owners please have a go of this. The crazy thing is, you couldnt bloody have someone sitting in the back with the window down and be even REMOTELY comfortable.

I didnt mind the turning circle and leaking doors etc.. but this is crazy!

please test out VWWATERCOOLED members with MKVI GOLFs.

Cheers
