Scuttle panel loose on Ed30.
« on: January 28, 2014, 10:06:20 am »
I was cleaning the windscreen yesterday and as I cleaned the plastic scuttle at the bottom of the screen I noticed it was loose.

Does anyone know how the scuttle panel fixes on the Golf mk5?

Screws? :popcornsoda:

Cheers.

I think it just pushes into a lip at the bottom of the windscreen, maybe the channel has debris in it stopping it pushing down all the way.

The wiper arms will stop it blowing off  :laugh:

So if it's clear of debris, it just pushes/clips in towards the windscreen?

Think so mate, it needs the wiper arms off to lift out.

I know what you mean though, on my last mk5 it never seemed to stay down properly after my local dealer panned my windscreen in when changing an ECU.
