Post by: eightyeightmph on 10 March 2008, 18:22: It's not that they break, but the rubber strip at the top of the plastic deteriorates & crumbles away. Replaced mine last year. :smiley:

the older golfs scuttle panels are made of real flimsy crap, mine was full of cracks when i bought the car, due to a replaced windscreen which also wasnt fitted correctly!!, iv just had a new windscreen fitted and now just gotta fit the new scuttle panel...2 minute job

just ordered mine from the stealer on sat... had my windscreen replaced last week and thought that maybe the scuttle panel or the rubbery broken bit on it was a kind of bonded to the windscreen thing that my auto windscreen chap would have replaced when my stone chip turned into a crack :rolleyes:

alas no :sad:

still... new parts later this week!! :laugh:

will post part numbers and prices if no one else does
