Late lower cowling ball ache!

Recommended Posts

Finally, after many months of having the new replacement lower steering cover I thought I would take 10 minutes to fit it.

9 minutes to find the screws so plenty of time to still screw it together.

What the..... 

I just could not get the ignition side to pull together!! After much swearing over 3 screws I took the top off to put them together and I found the issue

535 953 516c being the old one has the RH screw part set back about 8mm as the top screw part sits past the cover by this amount. 

Maybe I should have just cut the top part down but didnt like the idea of the screw not having much to go into.

But being annoyed I cut the new lower section part down and now have to recreate something that stops the screw from going straight through.

Not happy VW.......🤬🤬🤬

 

I definitely have the wrong part as ends in A .. 😡

Different covers, upper and lower for adjustable height steering column and non adjustable, I’m afraid.
