Title: Rear badge worm
Post by: suave on January 04, 2012, 01:20:23 pm

Guys

I need a rear badge owing to my worming. What should i search for in ebay as to date havent found any?

Would hope to have one fitted if dealer agrees to repair my rust around rear badge.

cheers

Not sure about the badge mate, but on the rust side of things on the rear badge, is it on the inside lip as you lift the badge up? The inside of mine the paint has started to lift a bit, is that the same as yours? What luck have you had with VW? Cheers mate

Yes, that's the same rust as on mine. Take a close look at your front wings too - mine are bubbling.

Only spoke to dealers yesterday though they don't sound like they're going to cover my wings. Possibility on the boot problem though. Mine's an 05 model.

Get to your dealers and show them your rust asap.

The later '3D' style badges pop up for sale occasionally. They normally go for around £40-£60 and include the whole mechanism. Fairly easy to fit too!
