Thanks for watching, see you next time.
Nice one Dom, don’t take it the wrong way, but it was nice to see someone else struggle with their TT !!
Hahaha I always try to include some
Suffering to make others feel better hence why I don’t click my fingers and show things done as it never happens that easy 😂😂
Yeah, I had to do that a few months ago, what a twat! Didn't break anything although pulling it free felt like every clip broke!
"They all just seem to go in nice" he says!
Oh, do they, Dom.
Do they really. Lol! :-)
Those spring clips are an utter swine, hence the crimped one you found on the back of the panel.
Great video and presentation, mate. :-)
I remember the first time I tried doing a door trim years ago. I broke every clip 😂 they are so counter intuitive and nothing is easy. Front ones are not much better either.
Knowing where the clips are though does help a lot. And of course fat blokes with big beards showing you the tricks of the trade on a badly filmed TH-cam clip
Thanks for the support as always mate
My driver's side seat belt has stopped winding back up fully. Is there a quick fix for that?
Likely a new belt as probably failed mechanism. Pull it all the way out of it doesn’t wind back in then likely the clock spring has failed
I've got really slack passenger side seat belts, barely any spring return on it at all. I've been thinking about replacing but it seems an awful lot of effot and I'd likely damage the trim. However, some red seat belts would be lovely!
Unfortunately there is quite a bit involved, but it will be well worth it and read seatbelts would be pretty epic, apologies for the lateness in my reply I'm sure you've probably already got them out now
@@TheParrottBros nah, not done anything with the seat belts. I've had 2 defective lines on the dashpod LCD for years now and not sorted that. It'll be another 5 years for the seat belts even if I can find a source of red ones!
Will you be selling the front door cards? I will be dying the rest of my interior from grey but the door cards will need replacing.
They are not the best nick mate but if local welcome to come take them as they are destined for the bin
@@TheParrottBros that would be great thanks anything is better than the current ones 😂. I’m local to Hemel Hempstead if that’s close?
@@joshuaball6115 how are you in Hemel and I’ve never seen you, surprised you don’t drive past my car daily 😂😂
@@TheParrottBros 😂😂 she stays on the drive most of the time so doesn’t get out much
I literally did this yesterday!! I wish you’d uploaded sooner 😂😂 If you want to make some videos together about interior stuff let me know!
Hahaha hate it when that happens, yeah will do man 👌🏻
@@TheParrottBros I’m actually going to be removing the rear bumper this week - Next week is making the flat floor/diffuser for the rear - If that’s something you’d like to get into let me know, happy to make some videos to help the TT community out
Leather cardboards look amazing, I’m sure you’ll extend the leather on the front as well am I right?
Thats correct mate, all front door cards and glovebox/ steering trims also the same
@@TheParrottBros damn that’s like a 1000 dollar job haha
Just an idea for a video - since you're taking off the trim inside the cabin anyway, could you take extra video clips and photos of where it would be possible to fit some more sound deadening material to reduce the road noise in the cabin? Perhaps a sound-insulation mod? Haven't seen this discussed much on the forums, just a thought
Great idea, ill add it to the chalk board
Hey Dom! Thanks for the helpful video! My 17mm socket seems to be too short to reach the nut in the panel. What kind of socket (brand name) did you use?
I use a Halfords 1/2” 6 sided socket set for my day to day work mate
Like probably everyone else on here, both my rear flaps have got broken latches so they flap and rattle around a lot. Do you know any good fixes for them, other than trying to find replacement ones?
You can pop the spring off and the flap should then stay down buddy, I’ll have a look at mine and see if I can film something
I knew you'd have it in the library...looking to upgrade the speakers. Doing some investigation if it's the front or rear making some fuzz 🔊😂
Haha usually it’s in there somewhere haha.
Nicely done sir, i love those seats and steering wheel, and grey rear cards look nice especially in leather. I fixed my flap/catches with some epoxy resin glue....it wasn't easy to get to as i didn't take the seats out...bit of a nightmare job in situ (lots of cramp!) but its done and they both work, first aid kit has some fresh neurophen and paracetamol ;) CD player won't load about 3 disks so looking at modern alternative! Have you changed your wheels too or did I just not notice them before?
Haha I have had those old v6 wheels for a longtime, need to swap the new ones on though.
I’m slowly researching stereo combinations and fitting so hopefully in next two or three that will be live on the channel.
Yeah they are not particularly spacious to work on that’s for sure 😂
Hey Dominic!
Another great job. She is coming around nicely!
Keep the videos coming...
Greetings from Canada
Thanks appreciate the worldwide love man 😍
I have to do this to access stock bose amplifier, do you know what side it is on for a LHD version?
That's a very good question unfortunately I cannot answer it as I have never looked
Just what I needed thanks! I'm trying to find the source of water getting into the drivers footwell and need to remove the trim along the door sill. Do the rear seats need removing to remove the rear door cards?
It’s a lot easier, the base just lifts out you then might get away with the back moving up and down
@@TheParrottBros cheers, I ended up just uncliping the bottom of the rear door card which then freed the trim at the bottom. Frustrating still not found the leak lol, it's not at the door seal and not at the plenum.
Another good video been putting this job off for ages
Haha thanks man and yeah me too. Only had the interior in my loft a year 😂😂
Damn it, I needed this video two weeks ago when I removed mine... Well, the new (red) seat belts are in as of today. And it's great that there's finally a video on them out there, I couldn't find any info whatsoever on removing the trim and seatbelts. Keep them coming :)
Thanks buddy, yeah I’ve been meaning to do it for a while but needed the time and weather. Surprised it’s never been covered before but I understand why it’s a crap job 😂
@@TheParrottBros yeah it was a tad more complicated than I anticipated 😂 and it cost me bad crick in the neck the next day from loosening bolts with a breaker bar in the cramped space that is behind the seats of a TT. But hey, it looks good 😂
Do you need spacers for the rear speakers when upgrading them? Great video man keep them coming!
Thanks buddy, ive never upgraded only replaced im afraid so couldn't answer that, although i am going to be fitting some in the coming weeks i think
@@TheParrottBros I'll write back about how it went once we fit them to the car no worries thanks for the quick reply. I'm suspecting they won't be needed since the main reason for a spacer is to protect the speaker from water and the window going down in the door.
great video - I'm fighting with my trim a little more - especially trying to get a swan neck spanner to fit in the recess for the seat post - anyone know where to get a spanner to fit? (I've tried screwfix / B&Q / Halfords)
My swan necks were just a cheap set off ebay, maybe draper i cant remember off hand
@@TheParrottBros thanks for the follow up. I tried a number - in the end I got the dremel out on a draper and trimmed it so it would fit - narrowing the circumference and under the neck - the car's finally back together again - seats out is definitely the way to go - I'm impressed and annoyed at how well the door cards are clipped in - the metal clips definitely provide a better hold than plastic trim clips
thanks again for the videos 😃
@@TheJLAshley Awesome! glad you got it sorted mate
That was a great video!!!
I know Im watching this again, but its good to build a picture in your head.
Thanks Dom , once again you are a wealth of information. Thanks for the video, very handy mate.
It’s one of those things you may never need but when you do it’s priceless 😂😂
@@TheParrottBros Ha. Thanks mate!

Thank you buddy appreciate it
Another great how to vid bud 👌👌
Thank you buddy 👌🏻👌🏻
Keep up with the good job mate !!
Thanking you 👍🏻

Thanks buddy 🧔🏼
really clear and well done - thank you. great tip with disconnecting the batt too. cheers!
Thanks for watching and commenting 😎
Golden info!!
Thank you ☺️
Exact video i was looking for 🙏🏻
Glad to help 👌🏻
If you break or mangle the spring clips for the door cards dont bother with them, they were still available from audi last time I checked and each costs a few pence. Thanks for the video Dom!
Great tips as always bro, yeah they are a pain those clips. Usually bent when you don’t line it up and try and force it... not speaking from experience 😂. Thanks as always man
