    Looks great. Nice informative video. I'd do this to my MK7 Sportwagen but I use the roof rack for bikes all the time. That thing looks a lot better washed :)

      I’d love to manual swap this one but probably smarter to just find a manual wagon. Haha

      @@spottedeuros1529 Excuse me! Great instructional, may I ask how you get the back of the roof liner to drop down like in 9:03?
      Ive removed the plastic trim that you pull off, but Im trying to change the antenna for a shark fin and cant get access due to the head liner and fear i might break it...

    Can’t wait to do this to my 2003 Jetta Wagon 1.8T that has both 16” BBS RXII wheels and 17” Long Beach wheels that I alternate between warm and cold months.

    Very clean I like the look. Did you add anything to prevent water leakage? Also where did you get the plastic caps from?

      Ace hardware. I didn't but you could probably add silicone to stop leaking.

    Hey man. I'm very happy to find your channel on you tube, because in my garage stay a similar Jetta mk4 wagon, but it's Tdi. The front bumper is slightly sagging due to a minor stutter and there is a 2-3 cm gap between the headlights and the bumper. Any tips on how I could put it back on or repatriate it? :))

      You can probably find some other videos that will be more useful. Maybe try taking the bumber off and it will give you an idea on how it is fastened on.

      I'm thinking of doing that too..
      Where did you get the roof plugs?
      Did you notice any increase in mpg due to better aerodynamics?
      Thanks!

      Use some non silicone sealer that is used for rain gutters. Use just enough so you don’t get any squeeze out.
