Hi mate,


Had the same problem last week...

The best thing to do is remove the top part of the bumper too so you can push on the opposite sides and it should clip in without fuss.

It only takes an extra 20 mins, you need to remove the rear lights to gain access to the four bolts holding it in. There's then 4 bolts on each side on the inner arch as well and it should just slide out. You then have to unplug the license plate connector which is at the bottom right hand side.

Here's a guide with pics http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3754634
