Tailgate Threshold Screw Caps

[Diesel9a1]

I've noticed that the thresholds don't have screw caps. Are these standard supply that haven't been supplied or are they an extra for £110.00 + VAT from VW? LOL!!!

You can get them in the forum shop ,not expensive

Not expensive!? Thanks for the info.

Sorry about the price @Diesel9a1 thats not our markup but VWs crazy price for them

I just couldn't bring myself to pay circa £3 per cover. I was recommended these from a friend of mine. They actually fit perfectly in the middle 2 positions and you just need to trim 2mm off the bottom of them for the 4 outer locations.

They come form Hong Kong, take about 2 weeks to arrive but cost £2.33.

I got these, a perfect finish and they also stop the crap going in the holes.
Must admit they should be standard fit from new at no cost.

Bought! I'll give 'em a go for £2.33!

I was told the weekend that if I go back to the dealer and complain they will put them in for free!?!

Thanks @superchargedpolo I went for these on your recommendation and have to say they are excellent. No more sand in the screw holes. They finish the trim off well too, these are a must for everyone I would say

This is definitely worth a try, interestingly if i put vehicles through ETKA these are shown as factory fitted parts !

Mine were from VW. £2-£3 each. Finish the trim off nicely but should come with the van in my view.

They where fitted in my velle.

My 2005 Kombi came with them fitted when I bought the van in 2005.

This T6 off mine didn't have any. The eBay ones arrived the other day, will try them out this week.

It's crap! Had to buy mine from the dealer.
But when I was walking around the NEC a few months ago out of all the converted campers at 40k and plus only a handful had them in..... all that money and missing a £20 bit of trim finish

Picture anyone?

The middle two fit in fine. The outer two on each side need to be trimmed shorter. Fit fine. Three spares as well. Not bad for £2.33 or whatever it was! Photo's show the caps needing to be trimmed then after they were trimmed.

Ordered mine so another job to do when they arrive

Look bang on those buddy, can't believe VW would scrimp on not fitting these!

 

[Smiffy]

Well thanks for pointing out these are missing, probably wouldn't have even noticed! I think I'll go for the £2.33 fix
