I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

You will see there is a pin in the centre of plug, find a drill bit the same size and drill it out or a screw driver the same size and push the pin out, some are hard to push out , so l just drilled the hard ones.

So Australia Post managed to lose and then find my Bumper Plug package and so I now have them….however the holes are a fraction too big for the threaded part and the depth of the holes in the bumper only seems to be minimal, am I missing something?

Currently I can pull them out again by finger nail so it seems that I may need to glue them or similar, any advice?

Cheers

Actually belay that, I heard back from their support at Bumper Plugs and the solution is to wrap 1-2 inches of elctrical tape around the threaded part and it stays seated

So you have to build them up with some tape , l use some flange plumber tape so they fix firmly in hole and l use a same drop of super glue gel. Gel best cos it won’t run.

Teflon/thread seal tape would be good for the job

Thanks! Your ride looks great and the plugs look 'factory' (a good thing)

Same issue here. The poor bloke needs to be careful he isn’t inundated when he reopens

Too true, I’m waiting patiently, unsightly euro (270mm centre) mounting holes either side of a 4-digit VIC plate look awful.

Waiting for the Grand Hero,

stalking/tracking status says 'liner release' Port Kembla, so it looks like even though the ship is in Melbourne, my car will go to Sydney to then come back to SA. change of having before Christmas - slim indeed.

[Jackson22]

Any news on your delivery? I see the Grand Hero has left NSW and is heading to North Korea..
