The front windows are the same on a tourer and saloon,however the rear door shape is totaly different.I have looked for ages but never seen rear one available:shrug:

I bought a set for my Peugeot 407 SW estate which has a similar profile to the Tourer/TT rear window (ie nice and straight at the top)

You may be able to adapt a rear set which is made for another manufacturer? Just a thought.

I seem to recall a member has already found some that fit a tourer. Can't for the life of me remember who or what tho' Sorry. A search of the forum should turn something up.

The rear ones were never made for the tourer :( And for the life of me I cannot remember who discovered a set from some other car manufacturer that fitted the tourer :confused:

Edit - Found it!! (http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=610554&postcount=4) :D

Several of the midland guys have them fitted see the chasewater meet or the Newark air museum meet the cars have them fitted. They are the ones shown by Tammy Boy VW TIGUAN 5 door I have them fitted, If you PM DEVILISH he found a supplier in London with much cheaper postage then mine. Mine came from Germany.

As I understand it they help to stop rain coming in when you have the window open to stop window misting up and can help to reduce draughts.

Keep pondering on a set myself.
