Tailgate Hand Strap Colour

[veg_frenzy]

All,
I had the tailgate deckchair storage replaced under warranty late last year (zips unstitched). When it came back, I think the colour of the strap has changed from grey (as the straps elsewhere in the vehicle) to black. When explaining this to VW, they said they could not find a grey strap listed as a spare part. Just to check, does anyone out there have pictures of their 2014 Calis, that show the tailgate hand strap as definitively grey or black? Any help of suggestions gratefully accepted. Many thanks.

Mine is black also, same colour as the Tailgate chair cover.

Hello
We have a Sept 2013 Cali and our tailgate strap snapped on holiday June 2014 replaced under warranty. It's black but my wife said the original was grey and at the time I wasn't worried black or grey.....she still insists it was grey....

Maybe it changes colour depending on the vans body colour?

Maybe it changes colour depending on the vans body colour?

Or the air temperature ...

Or even threatened ...

just like a chameleon,

Thanks all. It was definitely grey. I think I will push it with VW.............then again, life is too short!

Ours is black, never noticed what colour it was before; in fact, I don't think I've ever used it ...
