Those items are very pricey to buy from VW as when i enquired, i would of had to buy the whole windscreen water deflectors set up.

Mine just pushes onto the leading edge of the rain trays... It wont fail until the rubber itself fails which will probably be in 10 years time. What do you mean peeled off? Maybe they dont sell the smaller size that pushes and stays on anymore? Mine is going strong and looks neat and tidy so I still recommend it!

Could you post some close up photos? and detail. Having a hard time seeing how this is meant to work, I thought it would be obvious, maybe I'm doing something wrong?
(I still prefer it like this but kind of wasted $30 on this rubber)

Will do tomorrow! Been meaning to but just havent had the time.

supercheap, there were a few options, i used below one:
Permatex Silicone Adhesive Sealant - Black, 80mL - Supercheap Auto Australia

My main concern was water/crap getting into the area beneathe (plenum chamber). Ensure the silicon you get has carbon black or is UV protected

the one i bought had a adhesive strip that i stuck onto the windscreen. It went hard and fell apart after about a 2 years, i'm in QLD so it got a lot of sun
