Hi @Tier, What a comprehensive reply, thanks! I see what you mean, that’s right on the edge of ‘worth doing oneself’ in my book. By the time I’ve bought the riveting tools (never used to do bodywork myself, I stuck to mechanics) the cost of paying a dealer to fit it nets off at around £100/£150. For 6 hours work, paying someone else is looking more and more appealing. If I do take the plunge, I’ll post about it. Thanks again.

I’m interested in fitting some OEM running boards to my 7 seat Kodiaq SportLine 2.0 petrol DSG 4x4. I’ve just returned from a week away with a roof mounted bike rack, definitely can’t use that without standing on a step (I would prefer proper running boards). I’ve found OEM parts online for close to £700 (but with Skoda dealer fitting they’re £940)! http://www.kopacek.com/dk/Skoda/KODIAQ/Kodiaq-side-steps-ORIGINAL-Skoda-Autoas That makes me want to fit them myself and save some cash (I’m pretty handy with cars having completed an engine conversion/transplant among many other upgrades and modifications in the past on non-Skoda vehicles). Have you got any more photos or fitting instructions for the OEM running boards (they would help me understand how easy/difficult a job it would be). If the pics are of your car, did you fit them, can you share with me how easy/difficult it was and what was involved? Any info welcome.

I’m new to Skoda ownership having recently bought a 2020 ex-demo Kodiaq SportLine 2.0 DSG 4x4. Really happy with the car. I found this forum searching for a solution to modify Skoda’s iPad headrest holder so that it fits the SportLine/vRS seats. Found it on this forum, the modification worked well, which means this forum is the real deal as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been a member of car forums in the past. I’m handy and have modified cars in the past. I’m looking forward to learning and sharing on this forum.
