want to get the car tinted, any ideas on rough pricing around Sydney?

[feenix74]

I got a couple of quotes late last year for the Vento around the $350 down here in Canberra.

If my memory serves me correctly, the solartint website has a free quotation button where you enter the details of your vehicle and your local Solartint shop will email you back a quotation.

I had one for a while. They're not threaded, just held on with three grub screws so comes loose quite often, overall pretty cheap. Get what you pay for.

Black Forest Industries do some nice weighted billet ones that have direct threaded fitment, otherwise I'd just suggest another OEM replacement.

awesome, that's great to know otherwise i would've winged it and bought something i would regret!

Ive seen those BFI ones, but are a bit out of my budget and the OEM is a bit too light for my liking

oh rain....the enemy of all old vws...

driving today in the rain and decided to use my rear wipers which was all well and good....until the rain had passed and then i realised i could not for the life of me turn them off again....

luckily switching the car off and then starting it again next time didn't bring automatically turn them back on again but any idea what could be causing this?

worn wiper stalk?

Press once to turn on. Press again to turn off.
If it worked to turn them on, then it should work to turn them off since it's the same switch mechanism.

Turning on is not a problem, but somehow it just doesn't want to turn off.... interesting....

Could be a stuck relay? Try replacing that.

I saw one last night leaving the Plaza carpark, it wasn't you was it? I don't think you'd have your rear windscreen wiper dangling...o_o

Would anyone know of where i can find a replacement square bushing and the little circle one inside the white cable end?
