Window Weathershields for Polo - Group Buy for Melbournites?

[kaanage]

Would any other Melbourne 9N(3) owners be interested in window weathershields?
We could cut the shipping cost back with a single purchase a private distribution.

Here are ones that suit 3 door models like the GTi

and here are ones to suit 5 door models

Also have them for Mk V Golf, 4 piece set, that looks interesting to me.

Or if you left a dog in the car on a regular basis as I do.

Here is a 9N3 GTi that has them fitted http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...i-50436-3.html
The owner thinks they're great (and he's younger than you, vwthunder)

Since you have 2 cars that can use them Maris, the freight is far more reasonable (though if there were any other people in Adelaide who wanted some, then a group buy wouldn't hurt)

Oh ok

They dont look too bad, not like the ones my mates dad has on his VL commonwhore

I did a group buy for the same sort of weathershields on the golfmkv.com forum for MkV Golfs.
The ones you have posted up seem to work on the same principle as the ones I got for the group buy. i.e. they fit inside the channel where the window glass goes into when full closed.
My advice is to avoid them. They don't stay in the channel (even though they have adhesive on the lip) and will eventually come loose. I had mine on for about a year or so before I got rid of them.
Better to get those that are secured with double sided tape on the outside of the door which don't look as slick as the ones listed above but will stay on for longer.

The pic of the weathersheild on the car and this part of the description

- Easy to fit: comes with geniune 3M dobule sided tapes from Germany plus 2 x alcahol prep pads

would indicate that these are precisely the ones that are secured with double sided tape on the outside of the door

Not necessarily, the ones I got had double sided tape on the lip too which was meant to stick onto the inside of the channel.

I would check with the seller before committing. If it is secured on the outside of the car, then ok. But if it has to sit within the glass channel, I would steer clear of it.

OK, question to the seller has been sent - thanks for the heads up.

[kaanage]

Confirmed with the seller - they tape to the outside of the door frame just like the ones you buy from the dealers

Let Bazzle know about the Group Buy then, he is wanting a set for his R32 too.

I just checked and Bazzle has a 3 door and they only have 5 door Golf versions
