I tried bonding one on before and it came off whilst driving...is there a certain type of bond which would hold it on to the glass and not come off?

I think that atm the 'rage' is to have a hole free glass.. see if maye you could swap your glass for one with whoels with someone?

Try the parts wanted section and the the for sales! :) Good luck

okay, just weird... i bought my 95 1.6 rolling stones golf a month ago  :shocked: and it came with the GTi spoiler and i was wondering exactly the same thing. basically, you'll have to do the same as me, find a rear window from a GTi/VR6... or you could bond it on nice and strong (dont fancy that myself)
