[pablo64]

Hi, just like to say thanks for a very helpful and informative site, back to the question in hand, had some insurance work done at richard alexander in huddersfield done passenger side, that was about a couple of months ago, dont recomend them to be honest but nevermind, the trim that runs down side of doors has started to come away what holds trim on i can see a clip type that looks like you push it in to door but it pops out again, theres abit of double sided sticky tape is that suppose to be there or is it another bodge by them, cheers

It should only be held on with the clips, you can get new clips and grommets from vw cheap enough, don't bother with the ebay ones as they don't last.

Thanks for both replies guys, and i thought i was doing right going to a main dealer !!!! i will get some new clips and sort it out, just thinking hope they havnt bent the plastic trim and thats why its coming away and theyve put sticky tape on ! i never said its a 97 Tdi, will go to dealers and get some new clips, you dont happen to know if you can get the trim at ether end of the door strips do you, mine had plastic wheel arch trims on and iv taken them off and now need these items colour coding and fitting. cheers
