Rear VW Boot handle
« on: July 03, 2016, 10:17:23 pm »
Just a quick one, I have the MK5 flat badge as below which has terrible white worm so wanting to change to a 3d one.

However are they all standard fit? or will some not fit the MK5? example will this work ok? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162113636876?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Old one I have
 

new 3D style one I would like

They all fit, just on the earlier mk5's the badge is not flush with the boot and sticks out by ~3mm.

I put a mk6 boot handle in mine fits nicely but the wire needs a little give to get it to fit - but can be done

Wicked. Mines like 2004.

How comes you guys never removed the actual silver plate, and just attached a 3d one to the current mechanism? just out of interest?

Plates? as on the actually mechanisms? or are you refering to the metal badges?

I noticed a review where some have remove the actually metal VW and just attached one one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Golf-MK6-Black-Matt-Rear-Badge-Tail-Boot-Logo-Emblem-110mm-/272216110403?hash=item3f61583543:g:UugAAOSw14xXFOYS

But you've shown a different one to the original on your boot which is sitting flush. If you want you can pull the old one off and fit that ebay linked one on or have the one that sits higher as you pictured.

the mk6 one has a taper. so needs to be tweaked slightly to fit. i just took away a little off the black bit around edges and it went on fine
