VR6-DUB 3 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 HiI have bought twice a set of clear "autoart" side indicators. And guess what both times it went in the car wash the indicators steamed up and got water inside them.I am getting well annoyed with this now.Any ideas on this?Also i bought a set of genuine mk4 clear indicators, and received them today but the back fitting seems to be different to the mark 3 golf.Again any ideas?Cheers.

cabrioman 6 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 take them off dry them out and seal them up and stick them back on ??!! Link to post Share on other sites
jasonoldy69 1 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Any chance you got them off eBay?I bought some rear lights ages ago and I sent them straight back. They came with this crappy foam stuff around the edge which was magically suppost to keep rain water out.Just don't wash your car lol Link to post Share on other sites
VR6-DUB 3 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Sory for posting it 3 times i thought more of you guys will see it sorry.Yeah both sets where of ebay made by company called autoart.Any ideas what other vw car comes with standard clear indicators that will fit the mk3 golf?Also how you meant to seal them?

VR6-DUB 3 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 the mk4 golf indicators are perfect i try fitting them today but noticed that the indicator loom pushes on to the indicator while the mk3 golf loom twists on to the indicators. Link to post Share on other sites
