The decorative trim strips on the door panels next to the door release handle how are they held on?
Are they clipped and sticky taped?
As some of you may know mine rattle. I have been to the dealers and they want to book the car in for
two days to 'glue' them on.

This i think is not a good idea,

(Unless its like that from the factory) as if i damage one or a passenger does removing the seatbelt for example. It meens a complete new door panel! rather than just a new decorative trim strip..
I know they are not ment to rattle as the ones in the car at the dealers showroom does not and my mates TDI ones do not. So im trying to find out why mine do!
This is what i gave to the dealer.
RATTLES on VW Golf GTI ##10###.
Front passenger door panel rattle.
The cause can be shown by pressing on the decorative trim strips or above or below it next to the join with the door release pull this causes the panel to tick/crack. This panel moves when on the road causing a creak/rattle.
This problem also affects the front drivers door and the rear passenger side door to a much lesser degree but all of them cause rattles to be heard out on the road.

This is a video of what the dealer would have heard and seen
