In short, yes. It was very easy to put them on a 2013 golf 4 door.
The tires fit perfectly on my 2013 Golf R, so I think they will fit a Mk6 GTI as well. Compatible inside the window channels with no issues. (Personal preference I guess, but I choose over sticker-mount It depends on the type of computer.
You should be able to fit them in a 5-inch holder This model offers a 2-door design (with rear doors). I couldn't be happier with how they fit my 2013 Mark VI.

In this case, I bought the 2009-2014 (US) period), and I am quite pleased These are the ones I just installed This is not that difficult to do This is especially accurate after watching some tutorials on the web. I'll update my review if I find any issues with them in the future. I like how you look, 1)! It blends in, is clean, and it is perfect It did not have any issues with the guards (no scratches, etc. )
2) Comes in a very sturdy cardboard box to prevent any damage or scratches
3) Installation was easy - nothing troublesome to do at all It is a simple slide in the existing window channel, but it does have a few cons 1) The adhesive tape on the rear window rain guards tends to pull off with the backing, so be careful about that
2) The glass bumps / snags a bit on the edge of the rain guard when you close the window A car passes behind, but then passes behind again. You just need to pull the rain guard out a little bit at first for it to Hopefully, the rain guard will form into the channel so that it will not interfere with the window in the future. *3) Cost The prices may seem high in comparison with the competition, but they aren't. Even if the car does not have scratches, adhesive tape on the exterior paint, or need to be reinstalled when it fails, it would save the trouble of dealing with these factors. Therefore, I am happy with the progress.
I like the way it looks and how easy it is to install, but it doesn't keep rain as well as I would have The cars are just too narrow on top and too wide on the bottom, which causes air to be pulled in and rain to collect. You are protected from rain for a little over 2 inches. The most it would give you is 4" or even more if this were any other car. In other words, if you are a smoker and hope that this will keep your switches and door pocket dry while sitting in your car and smoking, you're out of luck. It is not enough for you if 2" is all you need. It's unfortunate that these are the only choices available. I haven't seen any bubble like the kind you'd see on a Delica Van, but honestly do you really want that This is an excellent choice for those who don't smoke and want a little ventilation. vapers can also use to get rid of ash since there is no need to throw it in the air. It did seem like they shipped pretty quickly, however. The review I'm writing comes after myself and my wife have used the service I also suggest you install them on a warm or hot day, because they will fit in better and wear in faster. In other words, golf windows are already exceptionally tight, and these make the top three inches even tighter, so they need to get used to for a couple of weeks. (front windows, back windows just stick on most of the time).
This is a smooth design. In 2012, we had an independent study. All four windows on the 2012 Golf TDI fit perfectly with this kit. There is only one vent visor that is approved by DOT. Having a low profile and smooth appearance, it is a nice product. Branding stickers are located on the front deflectors and can be easily The four of them took me no longer than 10 minutes to put on. If you want a nice fit in the channel, just force them in nice and tight. When you've got them in place, pull them towards you until they fit snug with enough space for the window to roll smoothly up. There is no need to purchase an adapter for other models on Amazon since this will fit all of the 2012 models of the golf. For a glimpse into what my customer experience is like, see my customer picture above.
It is a good product, but not for the price. This doesn't work as well on a car with more vertical sides as it does on the mk6 GTI. You can see water dripping onto your car when you have the windows open because it is sitting on top. Here's an update It would have been better if I were When it rains and there is water on top of the car after the rain, you open the windows and you fall into the car. If you drive off into the rain, the water is more likely to get in the car rather than flowing into the gutters. I believe that tint enhances the look of an open, even if it's not completely opaque.
Installation was simple (on-- and off-- It is helpful to have line videos, but it is not essential), and custom fit designs work well. I feel secure in place, and it does not affect the opening and closing of the window. It had been reported that some people had problems with these interfering with their It is not possible to close the windows without several attempts due to a security feature) This did not cause me any problems in any way. suggest letting sit with windows fully closed for at least 12 hours after installation. Having the windows half open for more than 12 hours did not make a difference, but I still kept the doors shut for that long after installation) not much of a difference in wind noise (not louder but a bit The "booming" resonance sometimes occurring at freeway speeds when the rear windows were cracked was reduced considerably). In any case, the reason behind obtaining These was to maintain a cracked window even with a tiny amount of precipitation These are perfect for that.
I believe it is more of a packing issue on Weathertech's part. It was their fault that the vendor thought they were responsible. When I called to let them know, they wanted receipts and pictures, which is what they were taken back by. That's really a bummer, I returned it via Amazon returns, so that I didn't have to deal with a big mess of complaints against the seller. As this was purchased in Oregon, I had a vehicle to drive back to Colorado, so, needless to say, using incorrect parts caused me a great deal of time and As a result, I ended up driving all the way down with only the front two installed (in order to keep the torrential rain from getting inside This is the second set. It works great, no issues with the vendor, one-off fault Amazon handled a mistake made by Weathertech to perfection!.
Both fit and materials are of the highest quality. I received the product scratched and in very poor packaging. In addition, it rubs against windows a bit.
Despite the fact that they were easy to install and seemed to be made well, the window molding on VW's windows is a slightly fragile installation. Quite honestly I don't think these are a good fit that will stay in place for long-term use. The design is less than perfect, and the price for what they are far exceeds the value. The fact that there is no other manufacturer making these for my car meant that I had no choice, but at $120 or so, I can't recommend them. The prices are way too high!.
