How to: Golf mk7 Wing removal and replacement

[@TenzinTselha]

I have a Jetta 2019. Is the fender removal method the same?

[@TheElektroskate]

It looks like you could get away with not removing bumper just loosen it on side so can pull it away a bit to get at bolts ?

[@willgd6521]

Yes 100% loosen one side, under tray and grill then pull it away. There only the other 5 screws on the opposite side left to take the bumper off so it was just handy to get it out the way.

Hopefully this will help thank you

Hi doing this now where does the smaller bit of foam go ? Triangle shaped ? Just putting wing back on and can’t remember where the smaller bit of foam goes ! Thanks urgent

[@willgd6521]

Hi mate it goes between the inner wing and the wing bang in the middle pretty much, if your wing is on it pushing up into the wheel arch fiddly but doable

@@willgd6521 Hi thanks for the reply, got it sorted. Yeah I ended up pushing it into that gap after I fitted the wing. Wing looks sweet your video is great. Cheers

What about the plastic trim down back of wing.

[@willgd6521]

That’s all on mate I just didn’t video it as it was a nightmare haha, it’s pretty self explanatory on where it goes

[@stueypinnock8875]

Should have a plastic strip at the back of the wing covers the nuts..

[@andypea170]

Does the mk7 have the famous foam behind the wing just like the mk4 golf ?

[@seanc3810]

yes, well mine does anyway, Im not sure whether to pull it out or cut a couple of inches off the bottom so its not sitting on top of the sill and to help it drain, it always seems wet whenever i look at it

[@dylandobbie2867]

Did the colour match up ok

[@willgd6521]

Yes really well to be fair, I ordered it as a non genuine wing off eBay and they do batches of painted wings in there paint shop

[@ollyp5732]

be really careful with wing allignment..... it didnt look right at the end of the video. if its wrong the door will strip the paint off both the door and the wing.
