trim: what are these and where do I get them?

Hiya

As topic - sticky fabric'y things that go behind the mid-level door trim on the GTI



Ordered trim fixings from VW today, but didn't see these.

looks like a velcro attatchment that somebody has stuck on there, maybe totake place of a broken clip.

Agreed....certainly not something VW would put on the car.

[javalin]

disagree - they cover up a hole (manufactured like that) in the panel and presumably are there for water proofing.  I will ask VW when I collect othe fittings.

If your guy from VW sells you any of these at stealer rates then trust me you WILL have been conned. I have removed the trim before (as has Wayne) and these are not fitted as standard. The little clips are the only standard fixings on trim.

+ 1 they are not standard, or if they are they are very rare! I've never come accross them in the cars i've help broke..

Looks rather clean for a car over 12 years old!

Had my trim off and never seen anything like that. Just the holes for the plugs to go in

[javalin]

interesting....

Any suggestions where to get them from?  One has come off, so needs to be replaced to keep it water tight.

>Looks rather clean for a car over 12 years old!
  Trim was removed for clay, polish and wax.  Also a previous owner has had it re-sprayed.

They are not factory so god knows where to get them.
