Front interior light housing broken
« on: 20 June 2012, 17:45 »
On the front interior light just behind the light switches (towards the back of the car) there is a separate piece of plastic anyway I kind of snapped it  :angry:

Is going direct to VW my only option and does anybody know how much it would cost, its not major its just two clips have snapped its a tad annoying

I don't know how much it'll be to replace but i wouldn't use superglue, the fumes will most likely bleach the plastics.
