Boot lid surround
« on: 18 February 2013, 10:52 »
Hi all,

Sorry if this is elsewhere on the site, but does anyone know how I can replace (or get a replacment) the matt black surround that fits around the rear windows (boot lid) ? Mine has just start to corrode and I dont know if its easy to remove and replace or better to overlay ?

thanks in advance  :smiley:

It's best to try and find one without the washer and wiper holes in them. That way you do have a little bit of adjustment when fitting them in case they don't quite line up. You can make your own holes once you are happy with the fit.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Spensive for a bit of vinyl. Guess they throw away a lot due to the odd shape.
