Title: Sun visor question for 3 door owners
Post by: valvebounce on 15 May 2014, 20:11

Hello.

This might seem like a slightly odd question but I hope a 3 door owner can answer. I've just come from a 3 door mk5 and the driver's sun visor had a telescopic arm so that when it was folded against the door it could be pulled rearwards to cover pretty much the entire window up to the door pillar. The mk7 5 door has a non extending visor so if you have your seat all the way back there's a large gap between the end of the visor and the pillar, making the visor useless!

So if you have a 3 door mk7 I'd be interested to know if the visor still has the extending arm?

thanks

John

Nope, the MK7 doesn't have it. Cost cutting?

Thanks for replies guys, was hoping 3 door would have it so I could order one. Will have to bodge something instead! Yes cost cutting likely cause, same as bottle opener & exclusive GTI owners manual...

Don't remember that feature on either of my 2 MK5s (2005(55) 140TDI GT and 2007 (57) 170TDI GT Sport).

My brother had a mk4 many moons ago and one of best features i've seen on any car was a tiny sun visor behind the rear view mirror! :cool:

I'd forgotten about the 3rd sun visor on the mk4. Agree Jimble, it was a really useful feature.
