morrisdl enthusiast Registered: 21/08/2000 Posts: 346 Loc: Rochester, NY USA	I just found that same thing on my AUDI TT Sunday when I was cleaning it up. I guess it should be no surprise since Audi and VW share so many parts. I thought it was a very clever sun blocker. Now if I can only remember to use it... _________________________ Cheers, -Doug Morrison Mk2-32G Back light buttons, Neon red screen

Not in any of the A3 platform cars though. One of my customers moved here from the UK last week and had never seen one before. Wanted to know if they had them over there. _________________________ Heather "I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires." -Susan B Anthony
