Even with a set of pry tools I am finding it difficult to remove the hatch liner to gain access to the latch mechanism so that I can replace it. Any clues? I think that I must have to remove the whole hatch panel to do it. . Any help from anyone close to Maroochydore would be appreciated if you have the time. Cheers-John

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,

I know its for the 2009 but they and the Polo are much the same
The latches are about $30 on Ebay and $123 from a stealer so I used the Ebay one and it was identical in all ways to the one I removed. and no you cant get it apart to replace the sensor switch which is the problem2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B

Thanks Hillbilly, I eventually removed enough of the liner to access the latch and replace it with one from the dealer -$180.00- unfortunately. This car spends a fair bit of it's life in carparks etc, and I couldn't take the risk of waiting for one to arrive. A tiresome job and I still can't get one clip back into place, but I've run out of patience for the day. Anyway, there's a certain satisfaction in having done it as the dealer probably would have charged at least an hours labour. When I was at Cricks this morning they advised that their is a three week wait for service/repair bookings; so good thing then that I did a DIY job. Cheers-John
