Hey mate

I have no idea on price but id also like to know, Im from Middlesbro too and i have (Kinda) the same bother,
I have a blockage under my scuttle panel causing a leak into the car, (which i know you dont have.)
But im worried about taking my scuttle panel off to clean underneath incase i crack mine or  snap those pins that hold it on, as im not sure if they pop out or screw, but my moneys on them popping out...

I dont think mine is quite as brittle as yours sounds ( i hope)

Let me know if you get a dealer price, a second hand one might not be in much better shape!

If all fails i can tell you there is a good breaker called s.p.c morgan in guisborough which will likely have one if you pay them a visit :smiley:

Their website parts list isnt always up to date though so its always best making a call or maybe going down to check :)

right part numbers for the scuttle panel

W1H2 819 416 CB 41 - £23.04+vat
W1H2 819 415 BB 41 - £32.54+vat

u will need to get both parts for the complete scuttle panel.

Also if yours is like mine, and u remove it to clean the drain area, I would think it'l crack/break because of the brittleness. hope i'm wrong mate. Otherwise you'll be doing a trip to morgans lol.  :wink:

Did you manage to get a new cover mate?

Ive cleaned the drain holes on my car and done the pollen filter, I scrubbed up my scuttle panel covers and refitted them and they are fine, look almost new so not bad for an N reg!

Mine were bad as well, needed to replace the scuttle panel cos it was completely goosed where the rubber part is that sits on the screen, got one from a breaker in top condition for £15 complete  :wink: but what a job getting those flippin' clips off  :angry:

Had to slide a screwdriver underneath them to get them to unscrew  :angry:
