Rear Boot screen Trims.
« on: 14 May 2014, 16:02 »
How are the rear black trims on each side your rear boot screen.

Mine are awfully fitted, the one on the right is not too bad, but the one on left must be 4-5 mm out, so the top of it does not follow the flow of the spoiler and looks bad.  That in itself would be bad enough, but today it was all but falling off, as it has unstuck from the bottom.

Been to the dealer who is going to order some new ones.  We checked 3 other cars in the car park and not one of them was what could be described as OK in the way they are fitted, not as bad as mine, but certainly not good.

You would've thought something like that would've been picked up by quality at Wolfsberg?! Anyhow, that's pants

I noticed before that my passenger side one was very slightly lifted from the screen at the bottom, but really I'd have to have my nose up to it to notice. A bit of double sided tape would sort it out if I could be bothered.

Hi,

I posted a few weeks ago abut this. One is positioned a few mm lower than the other and is now coming unstuck at the bottom.  The dealer has a spare in, went to fit it and discovered they did not have the special adhesive activator, so had to order it in.  I have not heard a thing since  :cry:

I tried double sided tape (the really good industrial stuff)   It lasted 2 days before the trim lifted again

I have asked the dealer to get a left and right ordered.  He did mention that it may need "special adhesive", so hopefully that will be done :)


Right hand side - pretty flush






Left hand side - I think someone was having a bad day in the factory fitting this one.

Hmm, I don't seem to have ANY fitted! It's not something I noticed until I read this thread. Are these fitted by the dealer at PDI or should they come with the car?!?  :huh:
