Hi all,

Just wondering if this silver trim can be removed so i can pad it out? I have a buzzing noise coming from it. When I press on it, the buzz goes.

I have seen other people having issues and apparently Skoda can fix it but rather look at it myself.

Thanks

Picture as jpeg below of that helps!

Hi - that's not the same design as the Mk 1 but I had exactly the same issue with the similar door trim that runs horizontally from the handle on my Mk1

They seem to be a separate piece of trim that is held in place on the door card by pins that pass through the door card, with plastic clips attached to the pins behind the door car that are, in turn, heat welded to both door card and the trim pins. I guess if these aren't fully tight against each other the trim piece rattles against the door card and, as you've found, that rattle stops when you touch or press on the door card.

In my case I didn't want to remove the door card and certainly didn't want to mess with the heat welds etc. so was able to solve it on all four doors by gently pushing some thin foam rubber approximately 1mm thick up between the bottom of the trim and the door card in a few places. This was sufficient to take up any 'slack' between the two, or between the heat welds and the door card that allowed them to rattle and is pretty much invisible unless you look really closely at the trim from underneath.

I suppose you could take the door card off and do something similar from inside, whilst it is off press the two together and use some hot melt glue to fix them if they've come loose but that seems a bit over the top compared to what I did.

Cheers

That’s great thank you! I will give that a try

I cannot fit any felt behind the trim or the silver part ☹️

Excuse my stupid question, but shouldn't this be covered under warranty if it can be replicated at the dealer? I'd be reluctant to start pulling things apart and stuffing things in to gaps.

Looks like it's back to the dealer then as a warranty claim. On mine it was tricky to get the rubber behind the trim but I was able to push it in with the help of a long thumbnail and the sharp end of a cable tie. But then mine is a Mk1 as I explained and out of warranty so I was up for having a decent stab at fixing it myself without resorting to a trip to the dealer.

No you are right, it should be. Just didn’t want the car door removing for them to fix it that’s all. Was a little worried that it could cause more noise that’s all.
