Trim pieces Golf R MK6

[GolfR64]

Need to know if the trim pieces are affected by de-vulcanizing
especially around the driver side where my knee rubs up against it sticky as .This was the way I bought from
the original owner.I did get a replacement and also door handle trim piece suffering the same fate


How easy are they to take off?
Is it just plastic tools to pop them off.

Thats just wear and tear from the previous owner(s). You can replace those parts.

The door trim piece just clips off. You will need some of these trim tools to make life easier and to prevent any further damage.

The dash piece is mostly clipped in, but from memory (i used to have a Mk6 R about 10 years ago) there might be a few screws around the ashtray/gearstick boot area and also possibly behind the a/c controls.

But yes, both parts are quite easily replaceable. Part numbers will be on the back of the actual parts for you to Google and find replacements.

I tried to buy replacements from VW but only one side is still available, so instead I tried a set of PC-ABS ones from AliExpress:

The fitment is almost perfect, much better than I expected.
