The light gauge interior plastic panel that adjoins the rear cupboard of my Cali has been damaged. There is a split next to the wardrobe and a small puncture hole in the centre of the panel. The small puncture hole has some sponge coming through. Please see the attached photos. I have no idea how this happened. A possibility is it may have been damaged when I had a reversing camera retrofitted 3 months ago by an independent auto electrician. If it happened then, I’ve only just noticed it, which makes me think it must be something I have done! Unfortunately, the VW dealer declined to repair it under warranty, which I am not surprised about.
What would be the neatest way to repair this, other than covering with duct tape patches?
My Cali is 2019 registration. I’m not impressed with the quality of the internal plastics. They are far inferior to our Tiguan and I am sure other panels will break even with careful use. The dealer explanation is that they are light gauge to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle! What do others think?
