Boot internal trim piece - how to get the bloody thing off !!!
182_blue:
that sticks out quite a bit more than mine, my one comes out about 1mm, yours looks like you can see the plastic behind it, have you installed it correctly ?
Norbreck21a:
I think so. I think there's only one way to install it AFAIK.
Fit against inside of boot lid, turn slighty so that the locking tabs on the handle locate over the tabs in the boot lid. This then line up the 3 screw holes perfectly and just screw in the 3 bolts and tighten.
AFAIK, there is no adjustment possible ?
VC:
is it a genuine VW part?

any washers/ spacers missing ?
Norbreck21a:
Yep, genuine VW (albeit off fleabay). It's got the VW stamps and the part number 6R0827469ULM, which according to ETKA is for a 2007 model year. This might be the problem as mine is a 2005 ?
No no spacers or washers, just the rubber sealing ring behind it (exactly the same hardware as the badge I removed).
Maybe they changed the boot lid shape slightly on the late model years and the handle sits deeper in ?
Anyway, it works and for now it will have to do. If anyone knows if there is a specific 2005 model year replacment available and the part number, I would be most grateful. I tried to get one of the flat ones like I originally had but apparently they have all been replaced by the embossed ones ?
