Subtle indeed!
Thanks for the heads-up PsYcHe but I never take anything from places like that...I was kinda hoping for an original but I guess unless I am a dealer then it is a no-no?
Thanks for the detailed info as always Mike!
Can you tell I don't trust NW to do a good job? I've had some very poor experiences with a heated screen fitted to my old Cosworth Scorpio where they cut off the receptacle crimps and just twisted & taped the wires together oblivious about weatherproofing or the current that gets passed along the cables
I ended up soldering/heat-shrinking the cables myself but would have preferred the factory-fit terminals...I am guessing the replacement screen not being the genuine article just had a bare wire connection or something...
Even my trusty 1998 T4 has had two screens fitted neither of which went without incident.
I know it is an old van but the first time it came away with scratches on the bonnet and enough mastic to prevent the Titanic from sinking.
Funny thing was when I took it back to have another screen fitted a few years later the fitter was taking the **** and asked me WTF fitted the last one?
Took the wind out o fhis sails and stopped him mid-flow when I told him they did...
After reading about squeaking screens on the Audi I was hoping I could at least minimize the pain by supplying everything they might need...still no guarantee of them fitting the bits properly of course...
Why does it nearly always seem to much to ask just to get a proper job done these days?
Remind me again why I don't use a Main Dealer?
Thanks & kind regards,
