      EEk! Not quite the effect you'd hope (unless if you are.. which is totally fine! )

          you know your driving a MKV golf, when water starts pouring into your car when you have your windows open, due to the poor design of the water runners.

            Have to say that is indeed a poor design flaw. You should see how bad it is with rola racks as well, adding a nice aiming device into the cabin!

              i wonder if those slimline weathershields will help. but then again, they do look rather gay.

                I have the slimline weathershields on the front of the GT and as long as the window isn't down any lower than the actual drop of the shield (say around 50mm) than they do work ok, but if you have the window down any further the water still pours in Still work OK when it's raining to have the windows down 40 - 50mm whilst driving. Wouldn't really say they look gay because their only quite small they don't stand out that much, not like the huge bulky bug catchers from years gone by

                      That $1110 plus GST is wrong there Gerhard, it should be $1221.
                      DSG fluid is very expensive and you need the factory filler to refill them.
