Just tore about a 2mm of skin out of my pinky. Thank you for this because this thing is dangerous.

Nice. I was just quoted $600 to replace that because you have to buy the entire unit as one. ‘The labor is really tough, too’...... okay.... I just wanted to find the little piece of trim. Looks like Alibaba might be the way to go. Thanks, again!

Thank you for this video. Mine has a small edge poking out, I keep slicing my fingers and now it’s like sharp knife sticking out. Poor design

My 2018 broke off today. I just ripped it off. I don't think it's worth replacing it. It was actually replaced during their recall. I never actually cut my finger. I didnt have to lift up the console like you did. It popped right off😂

RECALL ALERT! April 6th, 2022. (I live in the US) I just took my e-Golf in to get a replacement key yesterday (highway robbery for the cost of it!) and the dealership replaced this trim for free, saying it was under recall. I've also sliced my hand a number of times. It was really nice that they replaced it for free and it looks great again!

so, i assume to put it back on, i put the back part in and press down where i pulled up to remove it. But i'm getting a lot of resistance. Do i need to push really hard?
@1419krusty4 жыл бұрын
FYI, i pushed with both thumbs kind of at the back at the top on one side and it clicked in. Then i did the same on the other side. So i had to kinda bend back the top a little to get it to catch
@NTBVinyls4 жыл бұрын
That can happen. Just don’t push so hard that you snap one of the clips.

You can't. No one sells just the trim. You gotta buy an entire new DSG shifter. DAP has them for $130. So it's not terribly bad cost wise. But still annoying.
