A very worthwhile and good extra option too, IMO. On the Mk5 GTI it works very well and I often have its back tipped up as I don't like aircon.

At speed you need to let all the windows down a fraction to release the sound of cabin pressure waves. But I'm hoping that the Climair thingys will help even more.

I'm not too sure if it's just me, but I really don't like sunroofs! Every car I've had apart from 2 havnt had sunroofs. I think the car looks soooo much nicer without one! :D

If you have an ECON button when the light is OFF your AIR CON is working, when the light is ON the AIR CON is switched off, in the winter if im on a long run i tend to switch the AC off to save a little on fuel

If you have an AC button then it works the other way round :stupid:

....Oh no! We are agreeing on something again!

I see you are going for the Climair Wind Deflectors too  :happy2: Best of both worlds I'm hoping.
