it's "Protective foil"

 

Apparently have part number: AKL 448 300 04

 

I presume it's something they will have to "cut to fit" so I would think it available from VW :)

Not the same. That number is for a A4 sheet of 3M's Clear Anti Squeak Film - costs about £30+ a sheet.

ie. like the little clear pads the spoiler rubber stops park on on the outer tailgate areas. Its what ETKA quotes as the replacement. Dealers don't keep the film lying around.

 

You can also buy it on a 30mm x 5m tape roll at £30+ AKL 448 030 05, same film. I use it and cut round coins to make the discs.

 

Problem with cleaning up and re-glueing them is the tailgate rubber stops giggle around a lot and push the off centre fairly quickly.

:shock: Thats very expensive for a roll of tape to do 2 coin size protector pads...Maybe CCGB could give these out as a freebie to members hint hint :D

Thought that may make you think! :lol:

 

Try a craft shop for some stick on film material. The reason its expensive is because it withststands all sorts of chemicals ie, petrol, oil, waxes, etc.. 3M do cheaper versions but when you look at the specification, its not upto the car environment.

 

Next time you are at a car show, scrum in the boxes for a sill/bumper protector kit. Inside it will have a clear film sheet that is the protector. It's the same stuff, just cut to a shape. It can usually be bought from the trader for a descently cheap price and you can cut the discs from that. Or try fleabay for the same. It's used industry wide.

I made some from Helicopter tape and a wad punch kit at work. I may still have a few kicking about, but if not can make some more in a week, when I go back to work( factory shutdown). So how do you want and I'll sort some out.

I need 2 one for either site...Depends how much you are charging for them. Do they look alright on yours when made with the helicopter tapes. I know its not a show stopper if I dont get them replaced but its an eyesore when you know its like a bad blister on a corrado :)

They look ok, and I don't want anything for them. Just send me your address and I'll send you some
