Am I missing a cover?
« on: 28 March 2016, 17:58 »
Hi Guys

I was just working in my boot and I think my GTI is missing a plastic cover from the seat hinge, picture below. I seem to remember this from my 2013 GTI.

Can anyone confirm so I can ask the dealer to order me the part.

The boot floor covers it so there is no need for a extra plastic cover anyway.

My GTD (2 years in June) has one.

I'll check the Mrs car when she gets home.

That looks so much better, i've been fleeced with the new one :smiley:. I guess it could be weight saving!

I'm picking up a new GTI front badge front my dealers tomorrow as my 'I' fell off. I will ask if the cover should be included.

Our GTI doesn't have a cover either. I know its covered by the boot floor but its horrible looking.
Let us know the price if you ask while in at the parts department.

If the only time you'll see it is when/if you need to use the spare wheel then why bother?
