“I was in need of a different part for my 30 yr old GTi, and whilst browsing I came across these scraper bars. Now my RH one had mysteriously shortened over the years leaving an increasing gap at the front, so I ordered a RH one. I was so pleased with this, and hadn't realised that the originals had stiffened considerably with age (as well as shrunk!), and were not even in contact with the glass. How long for I have no idea. So pleased I ordered the LH one and have replaced both. Flexible and well fitting they do the job. Even for a 3 door they are a bit too long, but are easy to trim to length with sharp scissors or knife. Other than that no tools needed they can be replaced by hand with the window lowered in 10 minutes.”
