Thread: Side Skirt Extensions

    Side Skirt Extensions

    Hi all!

    I’m eager to know if the side skirt extensions for the hatchback are interchangeable with the GSW/Wagon?

    Part number: 5G0071685GRU



    They’re discontinued unfortunately.

    Am pretty sure the hatch and wagon have different wheelbases, which would lead to the sills being different lengths, ergo....no? That's my thoughts anyway.
    Cheers

    Mk7 & Mk7.5 wagons have the same wheelbase as the hatches, but the Mk8 wagon has a longer wheelbase than the Mk8 hatch.

    Let me know if you want me to take any measurements of my Mk7 GTI so you can compare to your wagon.

    Apparently it does fit.

    Here a video that I found:

    I still yet to see if my wagon has the grooves to be installed on.
