Hi all

Having a little problem with this cover

It had a cable caught in it and I had to give it a little shove to open it, now it stays open, although it’s supposed to click closed, anyone know how to remedy it please??E0D644F7-2A8F-4021-8CB3-90D2A0718D41.jpegA49A3058-F79C-4303-BB6D-22168E5AD3E8.jpeg
 
Might have to take it out and look.

I have a similar thing on another car and it works using a pin that follows a track. There is a notch at the closed position. When you push the lid it moves the pin out of the notch and the lid opens. There is also a rack and pinion arrangement to damp the opening.

Could be completely different on the VW of course!
 
@Paynewright thanks for prompt reply

Im Worried that you’re right and it’s needing to come out, and there in lies the problem, how to get it out

I’ve slipped a piece of card down the side (inside) and it sort of clicks shut but you can see it’s not flush, far from!!

May be covered under warranty
 
@Paynewright

Have managed to pull it off without breaking anything (a clip breaks and def not warranty covered lol)

Can see 2 springs, 1 either side but can’t really get to them as the dsg stick prevents me from lifting it right out

Will see later if I can’t get under it when I lift it out again

Any idea what I do with the springs??
