5 door glossy window pillar change?
« on: June 27, 2013, 07:51:15 am »


My Edition 30's nice glossy window pillars are looking very sorry for themselves; has anyone experience of replacing them? I've a feeling the door skin has to be removed. It's maybe an opportunity to install privacy rear glass too - easy job?
Appreciate anyone's advice.

I just used part of this guide http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,52585.0.html

And got the local paint shop to tidy mine up!

Thought your idea of privacy glass would of been worth looking into if I hadn't already tidied mine up.

Mine looked like yours and i had them changed. They don't last long so if you have time get the old ones repainted, it will outlast the new ones from vw  :happy2:

Over the top mod list ;o)
