Also for those of you looking at stainless steel boot sill protectors, I found a few that look good. I bought one on eBay (Access Denied) that looks like this one: Edelstahl Ladekantenschutz passend fur VW Tiguan II Bj. 01/2016- Ladekantenschutz fur VW
Other ones that look good on their site include:
Edelstahl Ladekantenschutz Schwarz passend fur VW Tiguan II Bj. 2016- Ladekantenschutz fur VW
Einstiegsleisten und Ladekantenschutz passend fur VW Tiguan II Bj. 2016- Einstiegsleisten fur VW Exclusive
Edelstahl Exclusive Einstiegsleisten passend fur VW Tiguan II Bj. 2016- Einstiegsleisten fur VW

Hi guys, just thought I'd let you know it isn't worth getting the boot sill cover from the above sites.
I test-fitted mine and it didn't fit perfectly so requested for a refund.

They were good to deal with through eBay and they did refund me my money.

I ended up buying the Kmart boot liner which suits my needs so far, will decide later if I still want a stick on boot sill protector

EDIT: In the end the boot sill protectors worked well, had a bumper issue as per: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ml#post1273285

why didn't you push it all the way forward and left a gap in front (the gap where the masking tape is)?

I wonder if the US long wheelbase version has a deeper bumper.

Please share a pic of the Kmart one 😊

I'm happy with it for the grand total of $14

Fits well

Just wondering if anyone has pricing for the new Tiguan accessories. Trying to firm up the price I want to pay before I go to the dealers

Accessories
Towbar Kit	??????????
Mudflaps - Front	5NA075111
Mudflaps - Rear	5NA075101
Floor Mats - Front	5NC06150282V
Floor Mats - Rear	5NA06151282V
Loading sill plate	5NA061195A
Door sill plates	5NA071303

It would be well worth checking out overseas pricing. It might even be worth buying them offshore. I know that wheels are much much cheaper OS but the freight cost makes it pointless. At least you would have some ammunition with the dealer.

If you push one side so it sits flush, the other side sticks out even more. It is not physically possible to have both outer edges to sit flush without deforming the thing in the middle.
That is the amount it sticks out by if you have it sitting equidistant on both sides.

oh I got it. What about these things? have you consider them?

I picked up one of these bumper protectors from the fitmycar.com.au website for $60...It's a nice piece of kit and well made. They said it was for MK2 Tiguan, but as you can see it is a bit narrow and doesn't completely fill the gap... at least not to my requirements.
To their credit, they immediately acknowledged it is a 'one size fits all' and offered me a full refund.
I'm going to keep it for my wife's Focus - the bumper on that has copped a thrashing from loading the pushchair... the same reason for putting one in the Tiguan.
I'm off to Kmart this weekend to grab one that TheTig has recommended - Thanks @TheTig!

$14 from Kmart. Fits the Tig perfectly and includes boot lip protector!

And thanks to Lindsay. I don't think I've ever spent a better $14.

I Ordered the "grill" in the middle but there is a slight colour difference between the original and the ones from Aliexpress.
I'm not sticking them on my grill.

Bummer! It’s a neat idea to add the extra bar but aftermarket chrome trim can easily cheapen the look. There’s a bunch of clip on crap online, but I thought this one looked worthwhile.
Is it feasible to replace all three to get a match?

I’m not going to use it or replace everything. The chrome is also on the headlights so even if I replace the grill part you will see a difference with the headlights.
It’s a bummer, but I think I will survive the 16 euro’s .
I will leave it like this, i’m getting used to it I must say and the car is just awesome.

Anybody fitted any sidesteps to their new 2017/2018 cars.
Wife on the shorter side is worring about entry/exit after 10 years of gti.
Fitment appears easy enough according to some Utube videos.
Are they worth the effort?

I enquired with my dealership but like a lot of things, they are not available here in AUS. Not sure about any third party mechanic, maybe ebay.

Thanks for the info.
Have seen them advertised online, but most are for the US market and the XL long wheelbase model.
