2020 Polo Beats Bonnet Decal Peeling Off

Post by ctvs24 »

I have a roughly 7 inch strip of film peeling off my bonnet strip/decal on my 2020 Polo Evo Beats (pic attached). Is this just normal paint protection film that I can replace myself? I would like to sort it ASAP before the decal gets damaged so VW don't try to charge for a completely new decal.

pure guess but it looks like the protective film, before application, had not been removed at the factory..

is the underlying black strip secure?

Indeed.

I agree with this suggestion as well.

The underlying strip is secure and in good condition and so are all the other decals. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't about to peel off a protective layer.
