Sie

when you unclip it to place it against the side window it then pulls out lengthways to extend

i wonder why my ride doesnt have them though, or maybe i need to be more forceful  :confused:

almost broke it trying before though so just assumed  mine doesnt

I seem to remember they dropped the 'extending sunvisor' at some stage to save money....

I remember sitting in the stealers waiting for our gti to get serviced,
the rocco had just come out, and had a mess in the showroom car,  i noticed that car never had them, which being massive doors and i like my seat all the way down and back, there was a big gap for the sun to still blind you from the side.
so gave rocco owners a heads up to get gti ones.
great feature if fitted

Post by: VC on April 05, 2010, 01:54:41 pm
well i went back out there all frustrated....

gripped it gently but firmly by the base, tugged and tugged with a smooth twisting action.. but it simply wouldn't come  :grin:

i r not satisfied  :grin:

maybe its just a 2008 .:R32 thing?

Post by: Jules86 on April 05, 2010, 02:09:54 pm
Pic doesnt work but i think i know what you mean and my R32 did it mate. I know the newer R32 had less on to save money (window tints etc) so maybe they dropped it?

It's a good job you don't live on the south coast - you would really need these  :evilgrin:

I think these were something a mate noticed when he was messing about with the visors. I tend to just flip up/down or wear sunglasses.

Can't see them being that useful really... I'll see if the extension is of any practical use if we ever get some sunshine!

....I live on the south coast and don't need such a feature. Who wants to fiddle with the sun visor while driving, except to simply flip up or down. Baseball cap plus shades does it all for me.
