3dr Golf Sun Visors useless

[thezoneR32]

Does anyone know if there is an alternative sun visor available for a mkV golf which can be extended when you flip it round to the drivers side window? The factory one is too short and does not screen my face from the sun when the sun is side on to the drivers door.

Did you know it can be extended? You just need to pull it out, I find when fully extended it works pretty well

This came up a couple of weeks ago. Seem that the extendable sun visors were not consistently released in any golf version. See here:

correct ive seen some but others dont have the adjustable on, only found out as a customer torn his new one out of its seam as "his old one used to move".!.....VW.............

Another good reason to buy a 5dr :P

Wouldn't even need it with tinted windows??

Cool that the 3dr ones can extend.

I was posting on the other thread as I wanted it. I checked with my dealer and they can get it for me through their parts dept if I give them the chassis number of my friend's car.

can you please share this info and post here if you get the part no ?

Cheers

Continuing this. I finally got the part. My local dealer didn't want to let me know the part number but they told me it would cost $240 per side, and when I asked them about the electrical connection, they (yes, two parts guys) were quite insistent that they wouldn't know and I would have to google or check online forums for the answer. They also said that once ordered, the sale was finalised.

Anyway, I told them I was going to try and find more information. Who knew that a friend would so kindly locate this for me and get it shipped to me from Singapore. loves! The only problem is the connectors (problem described in Extendable sunvisors (http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newforum/upload/showthread.php?t=40853)).

The part number on the paperwork said: 1KO 857 552

But the packaging (assuming they are the same worldwide) said:

1KO 857 551 N 2F4 (right side, 2F4 = pearl grey colour)
1KO 857 552 K 2F4 (left side)

Hope this helps. I'll put a visual guide up once I get it installed.

Oh, and another thing. When VW Singapore input my chassis # into their systems, it said my Jetta was meant to have extendable visors(??), but none of the Jettas in Singapore have extendable visors just as none of the Jettas in Australia I've seen have it.

And the VW person speaking to my friend said the VW passat in Singapore have dual extendable visors. Hmm.. might have to check that out and see if they fit the jetta, so you can have front/side+extendable at the same time ( i think)
