LR5V Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hello I am new to the Lupo and the forum - but not new to VAG, I only got my Gti a couple of weeks ago, loving the small block experience. I have already fixed the dropped ash tray but left wondering and need advice on two issues I have: One of the problems is the passenger side window mechanism ate itself on the second day of ownership, I got to say whoever designed this set up must have been having an off day, its not the best engineering I have seen from VW. A £12 ebay repair kit sorted the cable, but the lifter clips that came with it ended up being total excrement. Are there genuine kits with just the lifters? - I am making a trip to TPS next week or is there any other known good source for these lifter clips? The other question is the fog lights - is it normal for the bottoms to not be flush with the bumper at the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 get the clips from a manual or a 6n2 polo in the scrappy. remove the lower valance, clean the bits where it fits and refit properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted October 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Thanks for the reply fella - I take it the lower valence is the entire bumper on the Gti? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR5V Posted October 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 OK, thanks - but I mucked up, its actually the side lights that are not flush - thought they were the fogs - same fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
