Hi guys, wonder if anyone can help or suggest how I can resolve this.
I am in talks with Simon (brookesb32) as the boot handle guru!
But we are still not sure how/why.
I have fitted a later 3D style boot handle to my 2005 golf to remove the whiteworm one. This sat flush but the new handle sticks out, looking at later 57 plate onwards golfs with this handle fitted as standard it sits flusher, and better than mine.
See pics below:
The handle in question. Standard one, not sure if missing anything around the base?
Badge sticks out about 5mm:
And from inside, the black locater is preventing me spacing the badge in further:"
Simon kindly send me some bolts from a later badge as well, cheers mate
but still sits the same.
I thought about cutting the black tags off and then using some washers so the badge will sit more flush. Not ideal, plus think then will leak small amount of water in.
Hmmm. Maybe a later tailgate is different. if anyone has the rear trim off in the near future who has a 3D stype badge fitted as standard would they mine having a look how fits. Might have a shroud or trim bit I need.
Cheers Si
