Safari windows for Split kombi
type_one - April 29th, 2007 at 09:20 PM

Can anyone tell me what a set of safari windows for a split kombi would run at and what brands you have used and what you think of them overall?

Cheers.

Creative or Wolfgang. They all leak, don't also forget the wiper adaptors and duck. Or a small spanner just to spin the blades off. Rainex is your friend. Cant believe a split can leak MORE.

I have Wolfgang Polished Stainless Steel safari's and they are great. i also have a rear safari from creative (not fitted yet) The only thing i hear about the creative ones is that the aluminium ones go dull.
Yes they leak, but it's only a little bit.

The secret is to use the rust in the floorpan as a drain. So no-one notices, stick a battery over the hole and put a seat over the battery. It has worked for type 3 owners for ages. (I've just let the cat out of the bag.)........and we don't even have those crazy safari windows!:o
