I tried searching for this issue on here but didn’t find anything. The bonnet lining on my Mk 6 GTI sags because the tabs don’t got into the slots very well anymore and it’s annoying to see this each time I open the bonnet. Somewhere on the net I found some pics of a cool fix so I did something similar myself. It involved cutting some relatively hard plastic (I used an empty engine oil container) into a certain shape to act as clips to hold those tabs. So far so good, even when the engine bay is warm. See pictures for an idea of what I did and the shape/dimensions of the clips. I could have done them a little neater but they do the trick and are relatively unobtrusive.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Good thinking - it does the job. I ended up removing the one in my Mk6 GTI as it was just so saggy and floppy it was embarrassing. I think once they start getting wet/moist they loose their stiffness and start sagging.
The one of the firewall ends up doing the same thing after a while - i ended up replacing that one. -
Cheers mate. I thought about removing it but it's not terrible yet. Haven't noticed any issue with the one on the firewall yet, thankfully.Originally posted by Lucas_R View PostComment
