As the thread title really.

Yup - the 16v has a lip 'up' whereas the 8v is flat

16v

8v

 

[Fl@pper]

isnt the 16v mounted in 3 places on the screen too ?

or was that just year changes

........................off to look

1.816v is the same as the 8v,but window mounted.just to confuse the issue further.

 

[Fl@pper]

i remember whenever i looked one up i had to match it to the correct rear window or summat

parts reference code 5J4 and 5J5 list same description - ill look at my spec sticker

 

[Hayz]

My 8v is window mounted

 

[F2 Stu]

mine was window mounted too, the holes lined up between a 1.4 spoiler and 16v item

 

[Fl@pper]

My 16v (was) window mounted too so there's that theory out the window

 

[monkee]

My 8v is window mounted
