Cabby wind deflectors
Been looking at these:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Golf-MK1-Cabriolet-Convertible-M-Wind-Deflector-/190388078386?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c54038732#ht_1775wt_1096
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Golf-MK1-Cabriolet-Convertible-XL-Wind-Deflector-/190388079308?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c54038acc#ht_1844wt_941
Just wondering what peoples opinions are on whether to go for the M or XL.
What are the benefits/drawbacks of each?
Cheers,
Andy

Also stops the draft coming through round the side and bottom of the seats so are fantastic at keeping you and passenger warm. Can even chat with the roof down without raising your voice, well up to about 70.

Might be worth asking others who are attending a get together to bring one along so you can take a close look.
ensure you know what the manufacturer is, might be some copies knocking around by now.

The other bonus is added security - you can leave things on the back seat and they aren't visible, especially if you drop the upright from the roll bar down into the footwells.
Top bit of kit. :dance:
EDIT - Just thought, it might not be as stealth if you have cream/beige seats - mine are black so it makes it nice and dark under the XL.

Looks like XL is the way forward after my next pay packet!

What a thread to resurrect…
I'm actually a member of this forum already, but I can't remember my details and the 'forgot password' function doesn't apparently result in me receiving an email!
The question I have is, if the driver's seat is fully back and reclined slightly (I'm 6'2" and it's a bit of a tight squeeze) does it/will it interfere with the deflector?
From experience, headrest and upper seat would reside on the other side (rear) of the B-pillar and according to photographs, this would obviously be a conflict.
Have any of you guys got any experience with this? I'm not sure I would physically fit in the car if I had to keep the seat forward of/level with the roll bar/B-Pillar.
I'd love to get a deflector for the car, but obviously it's a very expensive piece of equipment if I am unable to use it because it effectively doesn't fit!
Your thoughts are very welcome!!

The reason that you are not getting club emails is that yahoo thinks that they are spam. To solve this you need to tell yahoo that emails from noreply vwgolfmk1 .org.uk are not spam. Or create another email account with someone like gmail and use that on your club account.
Once you have your emails sorted I can merge your two accounts with us back together :-)
