i used to have the same problem with my first golf, they would only close with the windows open?! i'm guessing it was something to do with the air pressure, iirc the side blower vents blew warm air so they must have been rigged through the matrix which may have had something to do with it??

I have not had a chance to look at the car yet, working in the middle east and not home till next week.
Will post a reply when i get to look at the car.
Will hopefully be carrying out a bit of work over the next couple of weeks, thats if the wife lets me..

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
