Weathershield & Arch Flares

[572]

Paid $55 for mine from VW as well.

No noise from mine, even at highway speeds.

I think he is referring to the optional "flares"

Those 'wheel arch flares' just look like the 'wheel arch extensions' that they had to put on the MKV Golf GTI when you optioned up the 18" rims. They're not really flares at all....

My GTI came fitted with weathershields... Ripped them off after a couple months due to the noise AND the fact they distorted the view out the side window near the A-pillar. Worthless with A/C anyway.

I don't find the air with the window down to be 'blowy'.

I usually drive with my window down, even when its raining (not too hard). If you are moving, the rain does not really come in. I guess the aerodynamics help.

When it's raining and I slow down or come to a stop the water drips in. Really annoying but if the weathershield is noisy then I might not bother.
