Must be hitting the horn too much or too hard. Are you a taxi driver? That is a bit hairline, don't think it would bother me already got a stone chip right in my line of sight in my 2017 VRS.

No. Second owner.

 

Does this part just pull off / hinged?

 

wonder what the cost of a replacement would be?

I'd have said something's wrong with that and I'd be taking it back to Skoda for their opinion.

I'm not too sure how they could class that as wear and tear - but they'll try!

Isn't it part of the airbag?

Well, yes, moreover the airbag is part of it.

yeah thats a deliberate split line (or weak point) for ease of airbag deployment.

 

a few of our older tranny vans had similar happenings, to the point when you could see the airbag underneath. Must have been a faulty batch we had.

Thanks for all the replies. 

 

Ill get get this out on the list of things to get done. 

 

New car car to me but some issues to be resolved.
