B-Pillar

[JonnyGriffiths]

Looking to get the gloss b pillar's for my gti 9n3, how easy / difficult are they to change? anyone got any tips?

Its a five minute job to do - put the window down, pull back the window rubber, undo the two phillips screws and remove the old. Fit the gloss pillar, put the window rubber back and admire

Costs about £40 from the stealers. Well worth it though, looks loads better than the standard b pillars IMO.

Thanks dude... do you have the part number for them? i thought they were an aftermarket product?

Cant find them anywhere online to purchase! my dad is service manager at a VW Dealership in Swansea so could deffinately get a set if i got a part number...

Anyone?

these are the part codes you need:

6Q3 837 902 G 041

and the screw N 909 483 01

ooOOoo.

Can you get these for the 4 door?

Will you also be glossing up the little plastic bit the mirror is connected to?

Your best bet is the dealership parts department mate - thats where I got mine from. I think they were standard equipment on some of the 9N Polos.
Don't bother buying new screws for them, just use the ones holding the originals in place!

Can you get these for the 4 door?

I believe you can, but I seem to remember it costing over £100 for the parts - you need two pillars for each rear door IIRC.
