Help! sill cover mounting brackets

December 19, 2020, 03:54:50 PM

Hi,

New to the forum.

Having sills replaced on both sides in the New Year, is it possible to re use the sill cover clips? Or as they are circa 30 years old they are brittle and break?

I have some on order with VW Heritage, as of yet no indication of likely, if at all, delivery.

If you can’t get/find new clips are there any alternatives?

Any advice, hints or availability of new clips very welcome!

Cheers.

Hamish

think they are available on ebay, and www.classic-vw .co.uk although you may have to wait until new year for delivery.

Thanks for the reply, and the info.

I’ll give your suggestions a try, thought the part would be to old for TPS(?)

Yep, tried a Google search with part number, no luck so far.

I’ll keep trying.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I found these on this website also, when I added the quantity to a basket and went to the next step, the basket showed what looked like a different item with different part numbers so I didn’t continue.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hi

Thanks for the offer, not sure the repair will go ahead when planned due to COVID restrictions. l’ll check out the other places you mention.

Once again thanks for your time and suggestion.

Thanks.
