Golf R Observations and Questions

[Ryan_R]

This is the first Golf I've had with a roof and it isn't extreme but it's noticeable.

Shame the Golf Cabriolet R didn't make production. Although I suspect that would have more buffeting noises.

Lowering a back window 1/3rd is a common fix iirc.

[helium]

Yes. It's common.

It's common with most hatchbacks with a sunroof.

My S3 used to do it.

Drop a window slightly.

Thanks for the tips on the roof - will give that a shot!

Or, don't have the sun roof in the "certain positions"?
You either want it open or not? I'll never understand why a sunroof has 4000 positions. Surely you want either closed or open!
Or maybe I don't understand sunroof etiquette.

Hi All

Has anyone had any issues with wind buffeting from the sunroof when the roof is in certain open positions (mainly in near full open position ) - I'm not sure if it's just me or if it's common to all golf sunroofs. This is the first Golf I've had with a roof and it isn't extreme but it's noticeable.

I'd be keen to know if I should have it looked at.

Cheers

Check your PM mate. Hope you find it interesting.

Those withe the Vienna leather option on the Golf R is the centre console meant to also be covered in leather or microfibre?

It is leatherette (articifical)

Only the contact points of the seats are leather (cushion and upright)

OK my centre armrest is in microfibre not leatherette, which is why I thought it was strange?

Do I need to go back to the dealer?

Never seen that before ?

What MY is the car and are these the stock R seats ?

Could be a replacement top they got off another vehicle ?

Very weird. Definitely talk to the dealer

[entice]

unless it came with recaro's perhaps and then swapped out?

[SilvrFoxX]

even the centre console armrest in cars with cloth is leather(ette)
