Door Panel issue
Having some issues with fixing my sliding door panel. Using the standard T25 door clips however they don't seem quite long enough and don't click in to place. Anybody used anything else/suggestions on how to securely fix the panels??

If the trim card is too big with the material on it will not sit in the recess of the door,when fitting new cards with thick material the trim card has to be reduced in size. The original vinyl vw used on the trim cards is very thin when its wrapped around the edge.

Re: Door Panel issue
Thanks for the reply and I believe this to be my issue.
SO I think my only options are to use some heavy duty double sided tape as a helper along with the standard clips or find an alternative clip that may be slightly longer to get the grip.

Re: Door Panel issue
You can get longer clips on eBay. I used VW T4 clips which are very effective.

Thanks m8. Dont these need to be exposed on the front of the panel though>? They screw in not push in?Winchweight wrote:You can get longer clips on eBay. I used VW T4 clips which are very effective.
Re: Door Panel issue
Best to keep to original fixing method, being able to see the screws, clips etc is not a good look.

I agree, just spent a fortune on having the all the panel re upholstered so front mounting anything is not an option

Re: Door Panel issue
These look like they may work. For T4/T5
