am puttin mk5 roof strips on but cant afford the mk5 screen and just wundered what anyone else has done?

Cheers, Ash

you got windscreen cover?

lol...50quid excess job done!

what about trimming a bit of plastic to size and making it fit snuggly in the little gap?

or get 5 door mk5 strips and trim them to fit?

How much are these mk5 5dr roof strips?

chrispy : that didnt even cross my mind! what an idea, think thats going to have to be done will be cheaper than buyin a window anyway :)

polomon : good idea, but I'm guna claim for a window me thinks.

rich9804 : i cant actually remember but shall find out for yu bud.

^ haha good luck with that anyway

How easy are the roof strips to come off? Mine are pretty corroded and need respraying

Mk5 roof strips on Mk4, anyone on here chose to leave the mk4 screen once they done it?

someone has as saw it at clubpolo meet.. (cant remember what car it was tho!!)

imo dont do it.. new screen needed. not sure if the 5door strips will work?? keep us posted.

ye man allready printed this off for sum help, cheers mate

I've been thinking about this also,,,,when i got my car back i had a new screen put in while it was been worked on so dont really want to take the new one out..Think ill put some on as they are and no doubt ill need another screen later down the line,,,then put a 6n2 one in.

An does the 6N2 one definately fit straight off... Some job trying to explain to the insurance company that you need a differnet windscreen than your car... Lol

That is the only bit I'm worried about! haven't a clue what will happen when it comes too that.

Suppose just insist on it and say its always been with them roof rails and I was advised to change to a 6n2 for a better fit...

Thats once it fits? I've heard about people talking about it but never actually seen one done!
