trim: what are these and where to get from?
« on: 04 August 2010, 21:35 »
Hiya all,

Posted this in the mk3 section a few days ago, no joy really - so thought I might get an answer in here?!



Its the fabric'y stuck on pads I want.  Gaffer tape was suggested by VW body shop...!

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

How did you get no joy in the Mark 3 Section ??  Everyone who replied stated that these are not standard VW parts and that they were not needed. If it's double sticky sided velcro you're after Halfords sell a small roll for a fiver. Although why you would want this when VW spent shed loads of money designing the Mark 3 Golf and decided they were not needed is beyond me.

The exterior mouldings may rattle when shutting the door, that strategically placed pad could put a little tension on the moulding to hold it in place.... I cant think of any other reason for it being there!

My guess would be that a previous owner removed the trim for some reason and broke one of the clips and used this to re apply the trim. The clips are a pain in the ass and break really easy.
