Was this an extra on the golf or standard?
-
extra :happy2:

Sure was

A very worthwhile and good extra option too, IMO. On the Mk5 GTI it works very well and I often have its back tipped up as I don't like aircon.
At speed you need to let all the windows down a fraction to release the sound of cabin pressure waves. But I'm hoping that the Climair thingys will help even more.

Must admit is one of the best optionall extras i got on the car
-
Ah sweet, I do the same always have the back tipped up, when it is awesome weather all the way! But does get noisy with it open all the way!
-
Yup, im another who does not have aircon on (unless its summer and roasting in which case its a god-send), usually my roof is tipped up and the front windows down about 5cm.
-
Right while people are talking about aircon is it automatic as in when I have it on low it's on, or do I need to push anything?
-
I'm not too sure if it's just me, but I really don't like sunroofs! Every car I've had apart from 2 havnt had sunroofs. I think the car looks soooo much nicer without one! :D
-
I like the look of the tip backed sunroof

If you have an ECON button when the light is OFF your AIR CON is working, when the light is ON the AIR CON is switched off, in the winter if im on a long run i tend to switch the AC off to save a little on fuel
If you have an AC button then it works the other way round :stupid:
-
Weird lol my econ light is always off! Meaning aircon had been running constant for 6 months :signLOL:

....Oh no! We are agreeing on something again!
I see you are going for the Climair Wind Deflectors too :happy2: Best of both worlds I'm hoping.

Lets not make a habit of it eh? :signLOL:
Yes going for Climair deflectors as I am pig sick of water running down the door onto the switches when the window is open (poor design by VW!) :signLOL:

....All cars stopped having rain gutters along the roof many decades ago. It was cool to shave them off.

I have never had a sunroof in any car since attending a car accident where the driver had been decapitated by being thrown out half way through the sunroof !

That sounds gruesome, I can see how such sights would affect what you buy and how you drive - I'm sure it could be an education for us all.
That said, It wouldn't stop me buying a car with a sunroof

....No safety belt?
Even if the car involved had no sunroof the accident circumstances sound as if the driver would have very likely broken his/her neck on impact with the roof.
There's no such mass production car that can guarantee the lives of its occupants in the event of an accident (or incident).
Why are accidents now called incidents? - No such event is ever caused intentionally and therefore it is always an accident whether someone might be to blame or not. And there isn't always a blame to be attached.

Well in Police speak they are now RTC's compared to RTA's . Changed the A for accident to C for collision. This is generally to do with the fact that someone is always at fault !
The seat belt question . Well it was still done up and in the required position. Did he he sit on top of it ? I know that it was never known whether he was wearing it as required.

....I don't think it is at all fair and just to state it as fact that "someone is always at fault!" - That is the sort of premise which an insurance company would use! It may well be true in the vast majority of cases but that is quite different from being "fact" and "always". I think that it has to be proved beyond reasonable doubt and that we are all innocent until proved guilty of something.
Something accidental might occur (a mechanical or tyre failure, for example) which then creates circumstances in which that causes an accident/incident. You can't always assume that a tyre failure is the result of bad maintenance even if it is often the case.
