VW Hatch Cover Straps/Studs Repair Kit DIY

VW Hatch Cover Straps/Studs Repair Kit DIY

Straps/Studs Repair Kits available here: https://goo.gl/hWYCdp

Volkswagen hatch cargo covers are held up using a tether that mounts to a plastic stud. If the stud breaks, the entire trim piece typically must be replaced.

Our repair kit includes a robust billet aluminum stud and stainless steel ropes to replace the OEM components. The installation is fair simple as shown in the video.

My stud broke at the very base… i was looking at this but. the tiny hole that was drilled. mine is much bigger.. because the whole base part is broke

Cody Lacey says:

Have an 2013 Elantra gt with this problem. Will these studs work for that model?

Travis Hadley says:

Thank you for the video and for designing/manufacturing the stud repair kit. After many attempt to repair, primarily with glue, I'm looking forward to this permanent solution.

Cory Lippert says:

Perfect!Mine just snapped. Will be ordering a kit today. Do I need to remove all the trim or just the section with the pins?
In the video the tech reinstalled the broken piece last, so it made me think they might be the only ones that need to be removed.

Road Toad says:

More detail on popping off those trim catches would be good. That's what I will break if I did this. If it all looked a bit more high tech I would change it even though I've had no problem there.

Road Toad says:

Are the loops on those tethers vinyl coated? If not it looks like they might gnaw through the stud. I like the hatch pop idea but my favorite part of the whole car is the VW emblem/latch handle design. Cant deny myself that pleasure. I still smile every time I open it. Wish they had done the same for the hood.

Makes you wonder why they didnt just go ahead and do this in the first place…

Evillincoln says:

my issue is the actual chord breaking. the studs are just fine.

IMP says:

Beautiful GTI!
