Thread: Golf Mk5 - Remove tailgate inside trim

    Default Golf Mk5 - Remove tailgate inside trim

    Hi,

    Can anyone help me?

    I was teaching my daughter to drive and we had a slight mishap reversing into an overhanging tree.

    There is a minor dint in the tailgate just to the left of the right hand reverse light cluster. I reckon if I could get the tailgate trim off I could push it out but I don't know how to get the plastic trim off.

    Any clues?

    Thanks,

    H

    Thanks. After looking at those links I think I'll pass on doing it myself. Looks pretty darn tricky. Guess I'll just live with the dint. Who knows - we haven't finished the driving lessons yet .

    Cheers,

    H.

    Try one of those "dent removers" who come to your home; I had a small dent on the drivers side guard of a MkV; the guy came out, removed the dent with a small suction device, no damage to paint work, all fixed in under 10 minutes; cost from the top of my head was between $50 - $80

    I cant vouch for these guys, I just found them via google, but its a similar service

    We have one for customers to use when they or their children have some bumps.

    Pretty good as long as they know what they're doing
