For Christ sake finally there’s a video about it that part is rattling so much it’s annoying
Haha thought it was about time someone did one 😂
@@TheParrottBros there was none in TH-cam or forums glad someone did it 😂
@@zuhlera yeah I must admit I did check prior to doing it. But I usually have a go if I’ve not done something before then learn from my mistakes 😂😂
I've just done this and your pain saved me some suffering thanks. The centre core, a plastic pin, of the plastic retainer behind the pull-down-handle prizes out with a strong but fine edge (knife), then the outer pulls out easily. Thanks for the video. I need to buy some clips as mine is missing some and epoxy to repair someone's old mistakes which are causing some annoying rattles.
Cheers pal great video as always.👍🏻 I can now finally replace my tired trim 😊
Woohoo haha. One less thing to have on the list then
Amazing how well built these TT’’s are , my 2016 seat Leon boot trim came off in my hand when I shut the boot 😂, great video again mate 👊🏻
Haha yeah no change of that tt handle falling off. That clip nearly broke me haha. Don’t make them like they used to haha
Another thing to add to the list of things to do, thanks for the tips
Haha I’m slowly making the list shorter 😂
Yet another excellent video Dom these things can be a bit of a struggle if you don't know where all the clips are
Nice one buddy 👍🏼😎
Thanks buddy, yeah always worth looking at another trim where possible prior to removing something. Appreciate the kind words
Informative and useful video😊
thank you 👍
Very helpful video! I appreciate the info
cat reflexes you cat..
You called it fooooooked and it came-back at ya :)
These parts will be rare one day....with your help they will not be rare.
Long-live the Mk1 TT
:)
Nice, I need to swap over my rear spoiler been dreading doing this.
Yeah I don’t blame you, I’ve heard removing spoilers can be horrendous
God bless I didn't know about that plastic screw thing. Out here in the middle of no where Missouri it is hard to get information like this for these cars.
Glad its been useful :)
Those metal spring clip do-dahs are a flippin' nightmare. Whoever designed them is hopefully languishing in a North Korean sweat shop these days. Plenty to go wrong with removal of those panels so well done in your explanations, Dom. :-)
Hahahaha yeah they are almost as bad as spring hose clips 😂. Although now I have a tool they are a lot more manageable haha.
Thanks man appreciate the kind words
My headliner still needs replacement, it got water-damaged because the gasket between the spoiler and the rear hatch body proper failed. I actually had water sloshing inside the tailgate, because for some unknown reasons, the plastic plugs covering the drainage holes in the tailgate were painted over in my car. I had to carefully cut them out with a scalpel to allow the water to escape.
Ooo no that’s a right nightmare! Maybe it’s had a respect once upon a time.
Mines was saging and rattling i lost the head with it and ripped it out not going to bother with new 1 lol. Useful video dom nice 1
Haha I’ve been tempted quite a few times to
Be fair but managed not to. Still can’t find a light for it tho 😂😂
@@TheParrottBros lol
Love the 'Warts and all' lets have a go presentation. You must have inspired quite a few owners to try DIY instead of paying someone else. Good stuff - Keep it up! 👌
Thanks buddy, I’m just a normal guy having a go, I like to keep it real, if I run into problems it’s likely that others will to so show it to help ☺️
Hi, what are the part numbers for the trim and the lower, larger trim with the puller/light? Thank you, amazing video!
I commend you on this difficult removal.
I need to do this as all my rear trim glue has fried.. 46C days can do that.
I hear you made 40C for the first time in recorded history(100yrs)
35C to 40C is a "feels like" difference... 40C to 46C is another magnitude difference.
Your wet close from the washing machine dry is 20mins or less on the close line hot.

Yeah I think the weather has proved to me that I’m not suitable for Warmer climates 😂. I need to shift my focus to places like Canada, Alaska or Iceland 😂
I need to take mine out, fix and refit. But that bugger requires some different tool to attack with. Those small tools aren't fit for this job IMHO. After making way with smaller tools, I'll stick something long and strong in there to lever the whole thing off.
Would it have been easier to remove the larger, rear lower trim (the one with the sagging fabric) first? Or would that have make the task even harder? Just asking.
Your videos have been a lot of help with my recently bought 2002 tt 225. How about some suggestions of replacing all rubber hoses.
That’s good to hear! Any rubber hoses in particular? Coolant, vacuum, boost?
Will be doing the coolant and Pcv systems in the next month or so
All lines. Currently I think I have a boost leak so I’d start there. But all my internal rubber should be replaced.
@@Thomas-rx9ur I’ll do what needs doing on mine, ideally you want to get a smoke test done to show boost / vac leak. And coolant replace if leaking / looks perished
I’ll get a smoke detection completed some time. I’ve only had my tt a couple months. Even after finding this leak it will only be a matter of time before another leak occurs because my tt is almost 20 years old and rubber is degraded. For that reason at some point I want all the rubber hoses replaced with silicone.
can you send a link for the equipment you usex
What parts did you replace??
where did you get this plastic? mine is shattered
Hey buddy another great video 👏 have you got any vids on taking the spoiler off to change or paint it haha cheers mate 👍👌
Haha thanks buddy, no I’m afraid not, the spoiler I’ve heard can be
Quite a bit of fun to remove, I think it’s only three or four bolts and then something like fishing wire to get it off
Aw no really haha dohhhhh that's my luck haha
A 20 min Job for him is gonna be a 3 hour job for me🤣
Haha you dont know how many times it took me 3 hours to then be able to do it in 20 mins haha
Mines a little bit loose and the rattle it makes is driving me nuts . On start up it proper rattle. I've removed thr parcel shelf and put foam slices everywhere still does it lol
You might just want to check the fixings and maybe add a little bit of foam tape on the inside if it isn’t on correctly
@@TheParrottBros managed to sort it yesterday. It was the bit near the brake light put a foam slice in and its gone. :)
Buenos días,tengo un mizmo Audi TT mk1 y lo e comprado sin este piensas,Porfavor mándame la sería y código de estas piesas para poder pedirlo !!!?
Si me lo vendes a mi las que cambiaste mejor ,gracia
Where did you buy the replacement trim, especially the bigger plastic one? The only one I found has broken clips.
I got them from a breaker that was in a nice condition. It’s hard work finding decent second hand trim parts for sure. If you want to drop me an email I have a guy who’s UK based that’s good for trim etc
Can you take the spoiler off from under these trims? Thanks
The spoiler has 4 Nuts holding it on from under the trim yes, its also usually has some serious adhesive holding it on too which is less fun to get off
Basically if you take it off its guna be clippless and broke hahs
😂😂😂
Was it hard to install the boostgauge into the vent love your videos btw
Simple buddy, if you head in to the tt playlist you will find A video showing how to do it 🤙🏻
@@TheParrottBros ok thanks man damn you reply fast
@@legendarycarchannel9142 my pleasure man
I need to replace the clips or the whole trim if possible. Do you know what type of clip or where I can order them? I looked on ebay but I don't really know what to type in to look for these trim pieces. I see different named posts.
see attached link for part numbers req :)

@@TheParrottBros Thanks brotha, could you send me a link to a silicone pcv system for a 180 please. I'm pretty sure I have a slight leak somewhere and was planning on replacing it all but when I look it up there's so many places and they all look slightly different. I found one on ecstuning, but I'm not sure if that's everything I need. Want to make sure given is 200$ 😅
This is another case where I took the TT to a "diva" upholsterer for alcantara covering and the bastard went neanderthal on the clips, probably 1/3 of them are broken.
Not easy to find a decent set of trims for me...
That’s a similar situation here, often the Trims have a lot of surface damage where over the years people can’t judge the side of the boot correctly and try and shut it with over sized loads 😂
That and like you said go crazy removing them. They fetch quite a premium if in a good condition too
I'm guessing I should tackle this trim removal job myself BEFORE taking it to have the rear window tinted? If I break anything then I can only blame myself, right...??
Most tint company’s don’t remove any trims they can usually get the film to the edges of glass without.
@@TheParrottBros Cheers dude, I'll leave it on then, no point in making work for myself haha!
Does anyone know the part numbers to the trims, I need the whole tailgate trim.
This should be what you are looking for,

@@TheParrottBros thank you brother, I appreciate it.
I guess if you have the new one...you could have Monster Garaged the old one and see how far you could throw it! 👹😂
😂😂😂
Previous owner cracked the trim that surrounds back glass and it makes horrible rattling sound. So sad that in United States, it is impossible to find that trim… Mfg #8N8867991A9MS.
I am terrified
Yeah i bet trim and pieces like that are hard to find, they are becoming harder to get in the uk and we have a decent quantity of cars / parts usually
