Boot Plastic Snapped - Help!
« on: July 14, 2014, 11:42:19 am »
When I purchased my car I opened the boot to find a piece of plastic had been cracked off.

I figured I could fix it myself down the line but I think I've made too much work for myself.

Anybody have any suggestions on repair?

Or does anyone have a part number for the entire plastic trim so as I could replace it. I think a trip to the scrap yard is in order!

Do you have the cracked off piece as I'm sure a bit of super glue would hold it in place...

Mine was the same as that took ages to find a replacement got one about a month ago from here http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/spares4yourcar/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= On eBay he's not selling any now but had 3-4 a few weeks back so may be worth a message

when I changed mine the broken piece was inside so I glued it back on if your near where I live you can have it if you donate a couple of quid to the forum but wont post sorry

i'll get the part number later when I go in attic Part number : 1K6 863 459 doesn't seem to be a colour letter on it maybe they are all grey ?

I live NP12 0QU near blackwood south wales  :happy2:

So this seems like a common fault! I actually live in Dublin, Ireland so I'm fairly far away unfortunately!

Fantastic!

Did you purchase one yourself? If so, how much are we talking?

Same has happened to mine, doesn't really seem worth fixing though.
