keith9534 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Hi Got a load cover....got the outer plastic parts....missing the metal parts which rivet to the chassis Bit of a long shot, but has anyone got a picture of what they look like? Will phone VW in the morning to see if I can buy them on their own but can`t see it myself? I have the side panels off BTW if anyone wants a picture of whats behind there,etc. Was thinking that although the brackets are quite substantial is the metal part a bit over the top? I can see that I could fix them to the side panels without connecting them to the chassis? Anyone got any constructive thoughts on that? (I`m aware that there will be a reason for the metalwork part but just wondering if the side panel will be strong enough to take the load cover?) Anyone? Quote
NikpV Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 IIRC the brackets are available from VW for about Quote

NikpV Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 I thought that these were supplied from VW with the plastic bits, have you checked that the metal bits are not there IIRC some folks have found they were behibd the trim - memory is a bit vague here - try doing a search Quote

Failing that I`m hoping that VW will sell me just the metal part Mine didn`t have them already in place behind the panel :P Quote
