Mk5 Bottle opener
« on: September 23, 2025, 02:52:10 pm »
Does anyone know if all the mk5 Golfs get bottle openers?  I've a 2008 Edition30 and according to some posts, the owners had bottle openers - mine has nothing, but neither can I see where it would be fitted.  On some cars it looks like it is in the cup holder section, but I don't appear to have a cut-out or anywhere to mount one on mine.

It's supposed to sit on the bottom of the cup holder in a cutout in the rubber housing. The top of the cup holder should also have 2 grooves in it where you can slide it in. If your cup holder has neither, chances are, it when the car was bought from the dealer, it wasnt requested.



You can buy polished steel beer openers and change out the rubber mat on the bottom of the cupholder to fit it. If you dont have the 2 grooves on each side to slot it in and use as a spacer, you'll have to change the whole cup holder thing. You'll have to remove the entire trim piece covering the handbrake for it tho.

My edition 30 didn't have one - but when they were new my ex girlfriend had a new Edition 30 and it had one, i'm sure it looked different to the one in Zoliworks pic!

I have the original solid alloy one with the engraved VW logo, but keep that tucked away as it is so nice. I also have the later plastic/metal one that VW converted to, to save money that I keep in the car.

Same, i have the metal one too, it came with the car. This one fortunately has almost all the options you could get back then.
