I've had the windshield on my R done 3x now. State Farm glass replacement has a $100 deductible and I was able to get OEM glass. The local glass installer I use coordinated with the VW dealer for them to order the glass and schedule me in. He then did the install in their shop and they then...

I got an AA Wireless kit as a Christmas gift and can't believe I went this long w/o one! I love not having to deal with cables anymore...

LOVE mine. I did cut the old connectors off of the BSM wiring as I am never going back to those tiny mirror icons, then soldered the new wiring into the BSM harness and sealed the splices up with heat shrink tubing.

No pics, but I replaced my 8900 mile Michelin PS4S's that were just under 4/32s with Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's. I wasn't going to rush into replacing them as the winter wheels will be going on in a few weeks but lucky for me, Discount Tire was cool about it and warrantied the...

I've searched and came up empty. Several solutions posted online no longer work - I'm guessing due to Google updates that removed them. Since the split screen update, I get an annoying "route suggestion" tile on the top right of my AA display. Yes, you can swipe left or right to remove them...

I've had the windshield replaced 3 times so far in my 17 R. I was recommended by my local indy VW shop a indy glass shop to use for the glass and install. The glass shop works with the VW dealer for ordering the glass and scheduling. I then take the car to VW, the glass guy comes and does his...

Got mine from e-Acca as well.

Search through this thread - I'm pretty sure I remember someone saying they swapped the wiring and glass over to the new folding mirrors on their R. https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/nikhsub1-oem-euro-folding-mirrors-review.7137599/

I have this on my '17 R and it fit fine. Install was a little bit of a PITA from what I remember as I wasn't familiar with taking some of the trim off at that point and was being overly cautious as to not break clips and the like. I got it on Aliexpress in 2020 though so not sure if the same...

I happened to watch it the other day after not seeing it for many years. Great movie. It's currently available to watch on PlutoTV.

My R had the same issue back in December when we had the subzero weather - the passenger side door was frozen shut then wouldn't latch closed once I was finally able to get it open. You would close the door and it would just pop open again since it wasn't latching. I was able to get it to...

LOL. I still have my '85 Pro Performer. Mine has been through the ringer though... :)

I'll take it. PM sent

Yes, they fit the stock R calipers. They also fit the TT-S brakes but needed spacers.

I ran a set of the R195's in 17" for a few winters here in Western PA with no issues. https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/mk7-golf-r-winter-wheels.7243104/page-94#post-108642073 I can't speak for the 19's. I got mine from Canada Wheels...

State Farm update just came in the mail the other day. Went from $104.11 per month to $111.74 per month. 2017 Golf R - $62.94/mo ($377.64/6mo) 2017 CRV Touring - $48.80/mo ($292.80/6mo)

My wife hates my car (due to the noise - and it's STOCK, LOL) and will only reluctantly get into it if she absolutely has to.

IF they continue to go back to buttons and dials, I may have an MK8 R in my future otherwise, I'll run my Mk7 R into the ground. I absolutely hate those haptic controls.

That's what I used as well.
