mini sunvisor flap...

[Phil_beeza]

Whether I'm the last person to know about this, but I've just found this just above the rear view mirror.....didn't know it was there before ! car just keeps on getting better value for money.

Its pot luck if you've got one mate. I did'nt have one but I have fitted one..

 

[bogdancristiann]

I also did this mod, but it seems you have to mount it reversed to be more efficient, because in the normal possition there is still a large gap between the sun visor and the reverse mirror.

I remember when I found mine, I made a thread called "weird flappy thing above rear mirror" and thats what I still call it

yeh that's why I don't see how this is great, how do you mean reversed, may try this if it works better?

 

[bogdancristiann]

I mean reversed like this:



I don't know how yours is installed, I first installed it with the sunvisor towards the driver.

I'm waiting for someone to come along and ask, "How do I know my car has one of these?"

.G.

Thats the way I fitted mine.

can they come in black to match the roof/ceiling would look well out of place in that colour ?

 

[bogdancristiann]

The sun visor is also available in black, this is the product code: 6XO 858 555 D 9B9

Got mine from a VW dealer as my local Seat dealer has no idea when I ask him for parts, even if I have part numbers.

Just ask for a center sunvizor in black for a 52' plate golf

 

[rosssifr]

Thats another thing my 08 plate FR hasn't got!

A bit off topic -but how much was your light? I saw one on a golf in a breakers yard the otherday, but they wanted £15 +VAT for it, and thought for that price I would just get a new one!

Its just a standard Cupra light mate.

 

[beezanick]

Typical! Mine doesnt have the mapreading lights and id like them. Youd have thought it would have been cheaper for SEAT to have just made one light for all modles rather than designing a different one which would save a couple of pence for each unit. Ill try a seat dealer then.

It looks like "pounds make prizes" - just take a look at what Ford gets up to, so its worth doing!

 

[beezanick]

Yea, I suppose over the number of cars they make it will add up. Still, I find it annoying not having the map light.

Go to a different scrap yard, 15 quid + vat is a ripoff. Mine came from a scrap yard (05 reg golf) and it was 5 quid + vat for the light and visor together.

 

[beezanick]

Thats why I didnt get it! I just havent had the time to go round all the local scrapies yet. A job for next week I think.

Not meaning to rub it in, but I don't even use my map reading lights. I don't see why they made 2 extra lights...I just use the normal 'big' one when I need a bit of light
