Doesn't seem to be the right part number that if its for the tailgate inner trim panel? I think it might be the metal spring clip that seats into a plastic retainer? I could be wrong though.

 

Quarter Panel Trim Panel Screw. Upper qtr trim screw. .

Plastic clip part number is :- 1H0867981

Metal clip part number is :- 1H0837187A

checked the number on the etos system at work should be spot on if metal one needed updated start of month

one that clips onto platic trim and onto the boot by looks but could be wrong

It will be the length that is the only difference there are others on eBay at differing lengths.

OR here's what I did:

 

Drilled some holes through the front-edge of the boot trim (i.e. the edge that sits nearest the bottom of the window). I then fed some massive cable ties through the holes / stays on the inside of the metal hatch.

 

I then lifted the front edge of the trim up, fed the cable ties through the holes I had drilled, and zipped them up. Then I just clipped the rear of the trim into it's normal mounts.

 

The result: in 5 years since, it's never rattled, banged, come loose or dropped off - as they often do. If I want to gain access to the inside of the tailgate again, I just unclip the rear mounts and it then sort of hinges away, hanging on the cable ties. Worked for me!
