Hi guys, I was wondering whether anyone knows if I can buy the rline silver door strip to use for my tiguan sport.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Sure can buddy! A bit pricey though.

Here's the place to source it: Welcome to VAGLINK online store

But would be interested in your feedback & pics, if you do go ahead.

Went into Wally World and enquired about these.

Got quoted $260 for 1 front door and $230 for 1 rear door.

So $1,000 all up to get these that are standard now on a 155TSI:




Still deciding

I say don't do it!!! Just some shiny bits for $1k

more spots to catch water for future rust!!

FWIW, what you're looking at is the shiny bit actually integrated with the black plastic door molds below.
In other words, it is a new door mold required for each door, even though it looks like "the bling" is just stuck on top of the existing molds.

And even if you wanted to, you can't just buy the shiny bit on its own and stick it on top.


Nevertheless, I agree with the advice provided.

Have given this a miss and exploring the possibility of sourcing these overseas.

It looks like it is in the wrong place to protect against car parking dings too.
