    Hmmm, not sure if these are to be included. I received neither, but then again I got a keen price so I am not complaining. You can pick up the brolly for <$30 as an accessory item from the parts guys.

    As for the triangle - hope to never need it, so it is just parasitic weight IMO.

              The umbrella isn't standard. Cost me about $12 delivered overnight from the VWA website. Handy too!

                  yeah gotta love the brelly - almost the size of a golf umbrella when opened, but small enough to fit in the door!

                        Dammit. I paid $27.60 plus GST over the counter (PN "VW-240250"), but then again, it does have "PASSAT" printed on it, so maybe the printing costs a lot.

                            My brolly was in the door when I picked the car up in June 08, was told by the salesman it was standard... but then again there seems to be mixed messages about whats standard (brollies, warning triangles, first aid kit etc.)

                              picked up a $5 all black umbrella from Priceline that fits the hole perfectly.
