Snagging points

[Brian’s Dad]

I've noticed a couple of snagging points, I wondered if others had these, resolved them themselves, had it fixed or decided to ignore it.

1. Rear roof cupboard - stiff to pull down - dealer says this is normal
2. B pillar trim drivers side - poor fit, dealer doesn't think it's too bad, might cause more damage fixing it (photo below)
3. B pillar passenger side - weird line in moulding - dealer agrees but as above not worth sorting
4. End of seat rail appears to be poorly fitted (only just noticed this one)

I realise all of these are subtle, just want to check there are no simple fixes, I don't really want VW pulling the van apart.

Looks like I have the same line as you.
Hadn't noticed until now.

Mine has that weird line in the B post trim, thought it was cracked at first but it isn't, yours looks a bit more visible than mine though.

Thanks for checking. The chap checked a Beach, but that has a different panel

The B trim moulding line first appeared on the T5.

Number 1, a spray of silicon will help but they are on the stiff side.
Number 2, https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/sliding-door-blind.25896/
Number 3, the scar is a feature, My 2013 has the same.

Thanks... I like the fact the scar is 'intentional'

No 4: the aluminium runner is only a trim that is pressed in, so try pushing it down.

As most others have already said.
1. Don't just pull it down by the handle, try pushing your thumb on the top whilst pulling the catch with your 4 fingers, once the catch has released then pull it towards you.
2.Needs a little persuasion to align but be careful as the small plastic can be snapped off.
3. Its a birthmark, they all have it
4. They just clip in so I would lever it up a bit more and check for debris underneath.

Sadly on point 4, my van did have a manufacturing defect and VW did pull my van apart. It needed a new floor!

My MY18 has all of those first 3. Seen it so often now I know its how they are I don't worry about it.

The first 3 are definitely normal. Edit. Doesn't make it right though.
