They look good and suit the car. Actually look a lot better than the German ones fitted to mine.

I was wondering though, which nation of the UK you are from? :D :cheesy: :lol:

how do these go on exactly?

ive seen them knocking about on ebay for about £30 for a front pair (i dont care about the back) but i dont want to spend that sort of money on some flimsy plastic to find that theyre difficult to fit onto the car.

ive got a D9 mind, so not sure if the ones you used will be the same

Mine just slide under the window rubbers. No hassle and only take a couple of mins to fit. Some of the cheaper ones stick onto the door paintwork though.

The ones above look like they slide under the window rubbers too.

mine slide in to the window channel, they have a lip that goes up inside , the back ones i used CYANOACRYLATE glue to stick the lip to the rubber,
and to be honest they are well built not flimsy in any way. at 1st i thought they may be flimsy but was quiet shocked how well they fit and look,
i paid £31 for the 4 door set from slovakia, post only took 5 working days to arrive,
you can get 2 door sets for about £5 cheaper but for £5 i bought all 4

heres were i bought them from -

the back ones have to be glued in (my opinion) because there is nothing stopping them from falling out when the window is open,
were the front ones cant fall out cos they get trapped at each end in the door

the windows are still fully 100% water tight , ive had jetwash out today and tested that, 8)
