    Phone VW and see if they have one in stock, normally about the 50 mark. I dont bother with the insurance replacements these days, quicker to do it my self and save getting the roof, pillars and scuttle scratched by 'expert fitters' that you have to wait half a day for.

    i'm about to change all the glass (not windscreen) in mine, is it feasibly a DIY job - the string i assume is to go round the rubber and you pull it out from inside while someone is pushing on the window.....correct? Do i need one of those window sucker jobs?

    That's correct mate. A little lubrication on the rubber will make it a bit easier, But don't use washing up liquid!
