Rear boot badge Q?
« on: July 15, 2015, 10:12:39 pm »
My early mk5 gti rear boot badge has white worm. I have a new whole unit to replace it with  however I noticed the one with white worm has a soft latch whilst the replacement is an aggressive spring type. Can I somehow remove the badge handle and put it in the old unit so I can retain the soft latching??

It has been covered already in this forum a couple of times at least. Use search. :wink:

All I find is people removing the actual badge and not the handle itself.

Keep searching. :wink:

People just replace the VW badge, they keep the handle. I'm not sure if it will look perfect like that.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Most of these are about removing the badge from the handle. Can I not remove the whole handle unit and refit into my other boot handle assembly. Someone mentioned they had but not expanded.
