Broken plastic lug on mechanism

flying banana · Jul 17, 2020

Anyone know where to get one of these and is it important. It clips around the scissor at the end. I'm thinking my roof moves about a bit disturbing that small piece of helicopter tape as in the pic. I have to keep renewing that. Then I noticed this broken bit. I've just taped it on for now as I can't find the other half of it.

Weirdly enough, I was looking at this yesterday.
With your roof up, look up under the edge fold of the roof and you will see like a grey hook. I’m thinking this grey hook slips behind the black lug you’ve got hold of there and helps keeps the roof down when lowered. A bit like a safety mechanism. The black bit is to stop it rubbing on the bottom of the arm

Yes I did notice that hook. Thought it was some sort of stopper for the slider. Cheers for that pic welshgas. Looks like a trip to vw when I can be arsed. I can show the parts guy that pic now. Nice one. Wonder why it broke?

Here we go. Ordered the bits from vw. And the missing bumper stops. VW posted out to me. Total bill £5.11. Heres the parts. Although those bump stops arent exactly tight in the hole. No wonder they come out. I ordered spares.
