Lukey. 381 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 the strips pop onto strips that are taped to the cars sill, they are sided so make sure you are getting the side you want, as the rear endcap is fixed to the strip and the front isnt, so if you get the wrong side it will go on the wrong way. Also the end caps are rivetted to the car so youre gonna need to drill the rivet out, you can get a bag of a few of black rivets the size you need from VW for a couple of quid1H0 853 985 Driver Side1H0 853 986 Passenger Side Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 when youve drilled the rivets out its a couple mins job, pull the old ones off, line the new ones up and smack them in place and theyll pop on the runners, remember to only drill the rear end covers off, cos the front ones unless damaged dont need replacing, you can slide the new strip out and the new one in without taking it off Link to post Share on other sites
