They look really good. Almost like the 35th Ed.... I want some... wish the guy had ones for the 3dr, not just the 5dr....

They do look good, i presume they came fitted with double sided tape ?, if so, was that good enough to hold them in place.
i bought some for my daughters corolla in the past which were fantastic quality, but the double sided tape was useless......ended up using contact adhesive........they havent budged!!

[gokartgti]

3m double sided tape with a clear protective tape on top.

Thanks for the link!
I had asked him a question on ebay, and he had said that he didnt have the 2dr version... weird. He mustve thought I was asking about the exact same one as yours as these are a tiny bit diff. I love the honeycomb finish on yours though

Any one know where to get the part number list for golf wagon 2011.

[alphabeatsco]

the dealership is charging 180+ for a set....
i've always been a fan of the monster floor mats, but they only for LHD.
much appreciated.

Thule 9001 Raceway Two-Bike Rack

Has anyone here had any experience with the Thule 9001 Raceway 2 Bike Rack? The alternative (roof rack + two bike carriers) is ridiculously expensive, plus there's always the danger of driving into the garage with the bikes still attached!

If you go to the following forum: Categories - GarageForum you will find out where to get software that will enable you to look up every part no. that is associated to your vehicle including australian prices.

I would post the link for the software but it is forbidden to do so in this forum, sorry mate.

I was hoping, even expecting to find lots of evidence of this on YouTube, but only came across the following:

I had a quick look at a VW dealer last weekend and was a little miffed to see a 118 TSI there with the GTI-style DSG shifter (good for them, I guess, but that doesn't help me)


Anyway I spotted one for sale here:
VW GTI Gearknob Cover DSG - RHD - 5K2713203E


I know there's been discussion here or elsewhere before, but I've got a migrane right now and don't want to search, so I'll just ask if anyone has retrofitted it successfully? Also, is it exactly like your GTI/R shifter, as something about the picture doesn't look quite right (perhaps the colours).

Depends on your bikes a bit... cheap bikes are less fragile....the nicer the bike the more fragile - road or MTB..
Behind the car bike racks tend to let bikes swing & rub, crush frame tubes, dirty roads cover them in road grime, exhaust can melt / burst tyres and dips (driveways and the like) can jam the bike into the road. Check the frames will allow both bikes to fit: Funny top tubes can hang the bike at strange angles and foul somehow or another. I've seen all these give grief.

Owned and used many over 25 yrs + as a mad cyclist (been building mtb frames since 2006 too) and good roof systems are likely worth the cost...but yes keep up in mind always!

Really happy with the Rola bars with Tuhle 591...super solid & reliable, keeps wheels out of the car, quick to use and easy on the bike and you're right expensive...so are panel beaters and new bikes. Mind fancy MTB suspension frames will accept the clamp.

If anyone wants to get DSG paddles on their Golf on the cheap (relatively) but is concerned about preserving the look of their car, I've found this on eBay:

There's only 2 days left though, so make your mind up quickly

Ethosguy, thanks for the information. Bikes are; (mine) Apollo Allegro, (wife's) Apollo Exceed, both flat-bar road bikes. It looks like there are anti-sway clamps on the rack. It also looks like it would locate the bike wheels sufficiently far from the exhaust to avoid any issues. But I'd certainly like to see one in the flesh before I make any decision either way.
