had the exact same problem when my mk 6 GTI was barely 2 years old. Took it back to the dealer - changed it under warranty. Guess what... the damn thing broke again after another 3 years. Out of warranty by then, i just left it hanging loose. The insulator was about 120 euro then. Was actually thinking taking it off completely but with the temperatures down here i didn't want to risk it. Now with the mk7 I have noticed there are substantially more clips around the insulator.
