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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      Yeah, but most of the strength comes from a thick piece of plastic that is part of the door card, the trim mounts to it with 3 push pins.
      I have a spare of that peice but you can't pull on it (I tested)

        Fair enough, from what I can see on ebay, the thick bit of plastic is a bracket that can be bought separate to the entire door card. Unfortunately I can only find left hand drive ones on ebay (Car Front Left Door Grab Handle Cover Panel Braket VW Bora Golf4 MK4 02-07 A4Z9 | eBay).

        If you can find a part number on the bracket then you might be able to find a new one being sold on ebay alternatively try Camden GTI Performance at Campbelltown, they run a VW wrecking yard and they may be able to source the bracket for you.

          That's interesting! When I was looking at it, it looked like one part with the card. Sweet, time to find a part number!
