    Thanks for finding this Lucas!

    So good. Have been without trim for months, and even a 50% discount from VW was still ridiculously expensive!

    Thanks Lucas! Gets better - I called Capalaba Volkswagen with the part number to see if I could get it from them. They were surprised I knew the part number. Turns out they keep them in stock because there is a recall on those at the moment! Mine is a 2015 Golf 92kw TSI and it qualified, got booked in for free this week. Not sure what the criteria is, they checked my rego. Otherwise the part is $82

    That worked out well then. My VW dealer is so utterly useless that I would rather pay for the part out of my own pocket than deal with them. Sounds like you have a better local VW dealership than me.

    I had mine replaced by the dealer as part of the recall when I had mine serviced last, pity they dripped glue on the driver's seat side bolster when they fitted it.

    Why would they even need glue? Its a clip-in part, no glue required. This is why I avoid the dealership at all costs.

    Seems like a common problem for Mk7. I found one selling $50 for RHD on eBay. There are only LHD chrome trims on AliExpress.

    I took my 2018 7.5 R in today to the dealer to investigate a Park Assist error and they replaced mine while it was there as part of the recall - no cost obviously.

    I had the silver trim cut my hand earlier this year so I took it in (7.5 Alltrack) and they replaced it under warranty, but I was bemused as I got in my car and noticed it wasn't applied properly, just popping up on the right side, but I didn't bother raising it as 2 people saw it before giving me my car back so I figured they didn't really care if they didn't do it properly. I investigated myself and noticed the plastic latches are extremely brittle anyway so it's not surprising it doesn't stay down.

    Anyway, I took my car for a full service last month and they replaced it again and this time it was flush, but I stuffed it up by playing with it out of curiosity and it doesn't stay down now, silly me. I was recommended to use something like Loctite or a glue to keep it down, would that be sensible? Has anyone else resorted to that?
