I did actually have a 3D slow close handle on mine before I fitted this one so maybe that's why? It must be a different design in the area the handle bolts too on the the lid itself.
I did trim the loop tape back a bit and loosen it all of to get it to plug in, It just fitted so is ok but I know it's not right so it bugs me a little.
Yes I was on clubpolo mate, had a GT and a couple of G40's then a CL
yeah used to hang around down there mate... Did I meet you down there at all?
