Front Windscreen Plastic Lip.
« on: 28 July 2009, 11:55 »
Hey guys not sure what the plastic lip around the front windscreen is supposed to be called but anyway, Mine is cracking and looks sooo shabby. and sooooooo brittle now, I'm mainly worried if this will cause my to have water leaks inside me car?


Can I buy a replacement lip?

On a P Reg GTI, anyone else had this before?

If it the one along the bottom near the bonnet that is available I believe, the one around the windscreen is only available with the windscreen.

Scuttle panel, if you left it up you will see 2 drain holes, clean those out and go from there.

Available new from VW or try and find them s/h, lots of cars being broken so should be easy.

Every one you look at, at that age is brittle, mines in a trrible state, I don't think it matters, I don't get any leaks into the car, it all feeds into the scuttle and away... I wouldn't worry about it apart from looks.

you got a sunroof dude??????might be leaking from there.
this happened to mine and you have to clean out the sunroof drain channels.
scuttle panel is available from main dealer,but you might need to buy the clips as they snap if you dont know how to take it off
