like it says guys... I hate waking up in the morning and having "morning dew" on my car and i can drive with the windows down for the first 10 min because the water on the roof loves to pour into the windows:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
i don't like the look of window deflectors but maybe a few pics could change my mind
Didn't get them for the look, but I like it. The draw back is they squeak and rattle while they settle in. After they settle in they'll be better but will give ya a little rattle with the windows open when you hit bumps.
Those don't look bad at all even on a white car, and should look even better on a dark car (like my CSG R). I have window rain deflectors on my pickup and LOVE them, crack the windows while parked in the sun or driving in the rain, no problem, a real practical addition. Thanks.
I purchased weather tech for my 3 door but haven't put them on yet.
Will post pics after tints are dry! There are still little bubbles and no sun for them to bake in. Hopefully they'll be fine once the sun comes out here in NY.. in 60 degree weather
In the meantime, anybody with a 3 door rocking deflectors?
My ones from weathertech have been on order since the 6th Sep, must be a back log for the four door ones ? They are estimating being back in stock on 10/26 !
Hey guys I did the installed the deflectors this weekend. Question though.. I rolled my windows down today and when I rolled them up, they were wet. I did wash my car yesterday and dried the windows.
But since weather tech made a big disclaimer on installing product outside of weather lining.. I have to make sure I did it right.
It probably is a normal situation caused by wet felt, but gotta make sure! Water can't seep thru interior door panel if these deflectors are installed incorrectly right?

Of course, cars are not designed to prevent water from passing thru the door on the outboard side of the glass to the drains in the bottom of the door to the outside. The Golf Mk6 is just like any other car. There would not likely be moisture on the inside glass surface.
Thanks for the replies. I do remember that happening in my old car. Just had to make sure. Hardly happens when u roll down dry windows and have it come up wet. Usually wet from rain when you roll down anyway.
Are these hard to come by? They were in stock when I ordered. Should be universal fit for golf/gti
Mine just came in a few days ago as well. It had been so long since I ordered them I completely forgot they were coming. Hope they're not hard to install.
During the hurricane, sand blew into the crevices btw the visors and the window. While I rolled windows up and down, the sand managed to scratch the glass. Its a really fine scratch but be careful after any storm. Hose down any debris that might be trapped btwn the visors before driving!
