Title: Rear VW badge/Emblem
Post by: Mintveedub on July 10, 2011, 06:15:51 pm: I have an early 2005 Golf, tackled the rear badge by sliding a flathead screwdriver between the badge and the backing plate, the badge i bought doesn't sit flush
Is there a way round this or do i have to buy a replacement badge from a dealer?

Without buying the whole badge/handle mechanism

any help greatly appreciated :sad1:

You'll need the whole mechanism, and it does stick out further than the original one but not enough to matter :happy2:
