How to remove the external trim of the wheel arch of a Volkswagen Tiguan

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan BW, MK 2, AD - Years 2016-2025
Part: Body

In this video, we can see how to remove the plastic molding located on the wheel arch of a Volkswagen Tiguan: we will need to lift the vehicle and remove the wheel, then remove the inner lining of the wheel arch, where there are 12 fixing bolts. Once these are removed, we just need to lift the lining and lift the sealing clips that complete the fixing inside. We remove the wheel arch and focus on the molding, levering the clips all around the wheel arch trim we want to remove: it requires attention and patience. We can find the piece, for example, on tarostrade. It has the code 24-8891-L-140298 at a price of 17.19 euros + 9.95 euros for delivery: always check the piece's compatibility with our car accurately.
