Has anyone else got one ?

Ive had mine now for about 2 months. No matter how many times i jet wash the web away it still comes back.

I might drop mine off while in Germany at the international seat show and see if it comes back then.

Has anyone else got one ?

Ive called mine Winston.

My mirror spider has managed to become an interior spider. Been using my windscreen rear view and steering wheel to great effect...never see it when im driving. Park up and when i come back its covered everything again. Very anoying taking the hover to it on my next days off...

My oldest spider lives in the boot reflector and plays around the rear wipe.:(

However, he either goes on holiday to my wing mirrors or has family there judging by tyhe webs there.:D

Don't know which cos I've never seen him.

Yep, got one in the passenger side mirror,(only in the Mk3, not the Mk2 though) its been there for years. Every time I wash the car I leave the hose pipe rinsing the mirror for ages trying to drown it. Had a trip down to Palmersport at Bedford last weekend & it was actually out spinning its web on the drive down, tried driving faster but it still hung on.:lol:

I put both of my wing mirrors through a coffee grinder before glueing them back together and the spider was still behind the mirror when I had finished.

Lets face it, this is a lifelong partnership.
