Window Weathershields for Polo - Group Buy for Melbournites?

**kaanage** · 14-08-2011, 09:49 AM

Would any other Melbourne 9N(3) owners be interested in window weathershields?
We could cut the shipping cost back with a single purchase a private distribution.

Here are ones that suit 3 door models like the GTi

and here are ones to suit 5 door models

Also have them for Mk V Golf, 4 piece set, that looks interesting to me.

Or if you left a dog in the car on a regular basis as I do.

Here is a 9N3 GTi that has them fitted http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...i-50436-3.html
The owner thinks they're great (and he's younger than you, vwthunder)

Since you have 2 cars that can use them Maris, the freight is far more reasonable (though if there were any other people in Adelaide who wanted some, then a group buy wouldn't hurt)

I did a group buy for the same sort of weathershields on the golfmkv.com forum for MkV Golfs.
The ones you have posted up seem to work on the same principle as the ones I got for the group buy. i.e. they fit inside the channel where the window glass goes into when full closed.
My advice is to avoid them. They don't stay in the channel (even though they have adhesive on the lip) and will eventually come loose. I had mine on for about a year or so before I got rid of them.
Better to get those that are secured with double sided tape on the outside of the door which don't look as slick as the ones listed above but will stay on for longer.
