Hi all,

just picked up my superb on an 03 plate, and as usual it's missing the umbrella from the rear compartment. rather than spend 35 quid on a skoda one, can anyone tell me roughly what size umbrella fits?

cheers!

I thought that the Umbrella was standard on all models?

What spec is yours?

aye, it's standard, but missing on this one: presume previous owner's kept it.

my VRs fabia-owning nutcase mate will be watching this thread and killing himself laughing at me being arsed about umbrellas...hi phill!

Well I am sure that another sized brolly would fit in there.

TBH I have never used mine but I suppose that the day will come, LOL!!

Your mate is only jealous as he doesn't have a self draining pocket in his Furby!! LOL!!

It's a very nice compact black jobbie. Extends very quickly on a nice mechanism, with a leather covered handle.

Not your average "womens" brolly...a manly brolly if there is such a thing.

Now that is funny, a 'manly brolly', I will have to tell that one to my mates!!

i'm going to end up buying a real one, aren't i?! dammit, i though the only mods i was going to do to this thing were to make it faster....!

Well I'm a Fabia owner bothered about brollies :P

I'm still on the lookout for a golf-sized one with 'Skoda Motorsport' on it, for the boot of my mini Superb

Not sure I'd pay £35 for one, even if I did find one that met the criteria... :eek:

It just gets better and better, I took the flat cap that I bought you back to the shop seeing as you no longer wanted that oldman Rover 75 and now this!!

Does it come with wellies too? :P

cheeky bleeder!

I thought the car came free with the brolly.

I'd go back to the brolly shop and complain.

Steady,kidding.I know that is the Rolls Royce,the only other car that does it

Not standard on the Base Model IIRC

Yep - only on Comfort or Elegance models - brochure says the Classic doe not even have the little compartment for it - but don't know if thats correct.

that is correct, our superb hasnt got any of the markings for a little compartment!!

and doesnt have the ski hatch in the middle arm rest bit either!

Think yerself lucky.

I am paying tax on my brolly!!

These must be the only brollys that are taxable with company car (unless you have a ROLLS:rolleyes: )

Superb 130 tdi Comfort.

This is quote a funny topic when you read the posts.

Let's face it the umbrella is one of the Superb's luxuries and I think it's class.

landwomble - I reckon I may be able to get the brolly cheaper than that!!

if you can, give me a shout and i'll probably have one off you...!

cheers guys...

I will send you a PM mate shortly.

Could be interested in one of these, are there any pics about of it open, ie what (if anything) is written on the outside?

Cheers, Steve.

Thanks mate.

Why do Superb's come with a built-in umbrella. Is the roof prone to leaks?
