Re- fitting front splitter

[vw rule 19]

Hi David,

 

yes the reinforcing plate should fit over the inner lips of the front bumper and splitter,

if you think of two pieces of thin cardboard pressed together, and a paper clip slides over them to keep them held together,

the same principle is applied here regarding the splitter, the reinforcing plate like I say should fit / slide on over the two joining lips and then should be able to bolt it up.

You want the 5 raised L-shaped brackets going over the lip of the bumper, and the solid flat base of the reinforcing plate going over the lip of the splitter, then once all 5 bolt holes are lined up you'll be able to bolt it up.

 

Sometimes the 5 L-shaped brackets on the top side of the reinforcing plate, can become slightly out of alignment.

 

If you're still having trouble attaching the reinforcing plate, can you upload a photo or two, then one of us on this Forum can hopefully see in more detail.

 

Or send me a photo via WhatsApp,

I'll PM you now my mobile number.

 

Hope this helps
