6n2 wing replacement, 1.4,8 valve. Driver's side.

Featured Replies

Looks simple but thought I'd do a quick check.  Anything I need to take into account when replacing the wing on a 6n2.  It's not the GTI - I believe the wing and sill are different on those. Any special fixings I need that might have perrished?  The bolts on the top of the wing look funny - I'm suspecting they might be some sort of cam, 1/4 turn things or something?

 

Thought I might do a few coats of clear coat on the back at the bottom to keep the rust away a bit longer. Worth a try or not??

No special fastners or tools required, just the bolts behind the arch liner along the door pillar edge will be covered in thick underseal so might need a bit of work to get on the head of the bolts and the underseal might hold the wing in place after the bolts are removed so expect a bit of physical to release it !!

Just thought! Do I need to drop the bumper first or will it slide past? From the diagram, doesn't look like there are any fastenings behind the bumper section.

It's been a while since I removed a Polo wing but from memory without removing the bumper cover you will struggle to get at the bolts circled

Many thanks again nige! Didn't know if there were bolts there or not. I've had the bumper down before so should be ok.
