Does this boot liner fit? Or is it just me.
« on: January 26, 2018, 05:01:35 pm »
So bought a rubber boot liner as i have a dog and he's not allowed in the car but his hair still gets in. So rubber is easier to hoover.

Anyway i got this one from ebay and to me it doesn't fit.

The seller is refusing the return and says it does fit according to the pictures ive sent.

Apparently i haven't fitted it good enough. But thats how it goes after pushing it all in. Its too big depth wise and just crap really or am i being fussy?

Cheers

Looking at the colour of your rear bumper is your car an R32 ? If so your boot floor a raised higher than a GTI with a Space saver spare that could be the problem with the height but the fit don’t look that good anyway

The ebayer has now accepted return after a few choiced words.

Yeah i thought it was a terrible fit aswell glad it wasn't just me.

My cars a golf r mk7. I did think it was higher than my mk5 i had.

It's because of problems like this that I opted to stump up the extra and get a genuine one from VW albeit on a  Mk5. A mate bought a cheap one for his Nissan Juke and then ended up buying a genuine one, somethings are just worth paying. The extra for. :sad1:

Yes things still do slide around but for me it's more about keeping the boot clean and easy to keep clean, a quick wipe with a damp cloth and it's as good as new.

The mk7 R is four wheel drive so I maybe the same applies to front wheel drive mk7 v’s R as the to the GTI v’s R32

Seen vag ones and they fit better than that ,it’s like floor mats original is best 👍🏼

I bought one off eBay and was very impressed. Perfect fit, durable and non slip rubber.

Got a full refund and the seller doesn't want the item back.

So if anyone wants this free of charge. Just pay for postage and it's there's.

I believe it only fits a standard mk7 car.

Cut it up to make something to kneel on when gardening , cleaning the car , changing the wheel etc ?
