Need the impossible: sunroof cables for 1300

I don't have more time, I have to resolve my cable problem now. I wanted to order it from CIP, but they are out of stock at the moment. Have you got any idea what does it mean? When they will have it again???

Since CIP is a retailer, I would guess they are dependent on whoever the manufacturer of the cables is on supplying them. It is possible CIP knows.

There are two options. CIP has a "Wish List" tab at their site. I don't know exactly how it works but in many cases with Internet retailers you add the items you want to this list similarly as you would if you were adding them to a basket for checkout. When the items come in, you are notified by e-mail.

Some retailers even give priority to those who express interest through their wish list and in order of registering. Some don't. A wish list is not a commitment to buy like a backorder as such. I am not sure of CIP's policy.

Because a wish list is not a commitment to buy, you are free to search for other alternatives.

The other option is e-mailing CIP at customerservice@cip1.com.

There was an item I wanted in December they didn't have then. Although I didn't use their wish list, that part became available a couple of weeks ago. This is probably not comparable since this item is probably not from the same manufacturer or supplier, but it gives me confidence that if they have it listed they do expect to have it again in the future.

I got my cables from a 2nd generation jetta, for my 74 SB they worked excellent.

Really? Your bug is an 1303 isn't it? Mine is a flat window (standard) bug.
By the way, the difference between standard's ans sb's cable is only the length??? Because from a longer it's easy to make a shorter one. In this case a jetta or golf would be great for me, and it's easy to find in europe...

Yes mine is a 1303, yes the cables were a bit longer and they worked great, its worth the try. Good Luck
