Charging point cover snapped off
My Mk8 Golf GTE charging point cover has snapped off, I need a new moulding which I have been quoted £63 for by VW is this easy to fit myself or does this require a vw mechanic.

Hi Jared,
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, I've not heard of anyone having to have this cover replaced before and can't find any information online. I do know that on my Mk7 GTE the slatted grill which surrounds the VW badge/charge port is only held on by a few torx screws and so it is easy to gain access behind. You might like to try doing this to investigate how the cover is secured.
Sorry I can't be more help. Please let me know how you get on,
Stuart

Hi Stuart, we have the same issue just wondering if and where you purchased the plastic cover from?

Hi Charlie,
The original poster said a new moulding could be supplied by a Volkswagen dealership.
I don’t have any more information on this.
Sorry I can’t be more help,
