There are NO gaps at all, and simply clip under the plastic surround of the window edges.

Makes the car look tinted at the same time, and im guessing can still use windows with these fitted.


The windows work just fine. Not sure what speed they are rated to though. :chicken:

Nightime visibility is compromised a little. It can be quite hard to spot the Police in your mirror at 2 in the morning.  :embarrassed:

The choice is between 3, 5-door or estate.

UVVW-GOLF-E-E is estate
UVVW-GOLF-3-E is 3 door
UVVW-GOLF-5-E is 5 door
