Help to Identify a Trim Clip

M32 · Mar 8, 2020

Hi I have lost one of the clips that holds the tyre jack cover in place (I'm not even sure what it looks like). Can anyone help identify the part? I think it may look like this item in the link https://www.connect-consumables.co.uk/product/36633.

Thanks

No, that's not the right part.

The missing fitting is made of bright yellow plastic with a circular head that slides into the moulding you have highlighted. The other end of this fixing sticks out and locates in the corresponding socket in the main N/S rear interior trim. TBH it's a real PITA as every time you go to fit the tool storage cover it falls out. It's a stupid piece of design. I've always meant to glue mine in place to stop it moving but haven't got around to doing yet.

Have a root about in the tool compartment as it's probably fallen off and is inside there.

If you want a photo of the missing part let me know and I will sort it out tomorrow. The boot is rammed at present and it's probably raining as usual.

That could be the one. I will remove ours and send you a photo of it tomorrow to confirm

This is the chap:

I would have a word with the parts person at your nearest VW Commercial Van centre. Failing that, I can recommend Chris the parts man at SMG Tonbridge.

Hi @calikev If I want to order a few of these, do I just call the local VW dealership with the parts number?

Did that work out for you? Is that the right part - I'm after one on my outgoing Beach that I'm fixing all the niggles ready for sale? I found an alternative post with part number 7H5 867 549... going to start pestering our local dealer and see how I get on.

Cheers

I can see no reason why you couldn't glue it in place with a dob of Araldite. Take off the tool compartment lid and that yellow thing always falls off! :headbang

Thanks - now I have two Beaches I can compare and contrast! I've got to do a deep clean on the old one before selling and fix that annoying clip! Sadly as I'm tidying it up, I realise it's still a really nice van. Damn you, ULEZ! But if it helps our collective lungs in the long run (and not just the vehicle manufacturers)...

Hi Pignik - yes, it worked perfectly.
