Neil: If I had those number of marks, yes, I would replace. I would prefer it to be done at my VW Bodyshop where the fitter is an absolute perfectionist and whom I would task to remove  and replace the trim. I simply don't trust National Windscreens (whom Admiral use) to remove and replace the internal trim, wiper and spoiler with commensurate care.  :sad:

Only the internal trim needs removed to replace the window and the aerial connections disconnected.

Then it is cut out in the usual way with the cheese wire cutters  :shocked:

Neil, the only difference with the MK5 is the wiper motor has to be removed as well, the spoiler stays put  :smiley:

When the guy at National Windscreens said that the spoiler had to come off, I got cold feet. Obviously, they did not have a clue.  :shocked:
Thankfully, I did not use them.
