I googled around a bit and found this link to the old owners club site:
http://www.vwgolfmk1.co.uk/Main/deflect.htm
The wind deflector pictured looks to be really good quality with a rigid horizontal section.
Can anyone with a deflector stick some pictures and prices/manufacturer details up?
Were these ever made as a genuine VW accessory?

The cheaper ones look like they don't taper in and fit as well but if they do the job at half the price its all good.
A5OPY - Mk1Collector told me you would know if anyone did!!! Why aren't there ever any bargains around when I'm looking for stuff :cry:

BODI-WINDSCHOTTS
I got fitting instructions with it giving the following maker/distributor address:
mail: info@bodi-windschotts.de
I understand there was never a VW one produced.

…that's from my website….as is
http://www.vwgolfmk1.co.uk/Main/Mods.htm
bought from Bodi-Windschotts…..got one for each car (fittings are slightly different on the latest one) but they are absolutely brilliant….worth every penny, delivery was quick….
…they do one that comes in different colours too……have a look at their website….
…the other one mentioned elswhere does not look as good quality….but maybe that's just me……
Owning a Mk1 cabby is a vertical learning curve…

The bidi-windschott versions have an XL version that covers the back seat too. It works a treat !
VW themselves manufactured a 'tennis racket' style deflector that clipped to the chair but Ive never seen any!!!!

but would be interested in pics and peoples thoughts of the ones they have bought.
the Bodi-Windschotts I must admit seemt to be a perfect fit to the roll bar and also around the awkward shapes around teh back seats. Looks like a top quality item.

Ill second or third that above.

I had a look on german ebay last week and saw some of those, but they were made by Kamei, perhaps they were the original supplier to VW?
I don't think they would be very effective though compared to the full version? :dontknow:

I'm sure mine is a Bodiwindschott one (I just recently bought it off my mate) either way it works great and with the windows up you get almost no wind at all.
