mine fell open on way to work the day after i removed it - just gave it a good hit and it stayed on

 

[Baldwin]

i tryed that was thinkin of pop riveting it lol

 

[Mylo]

takes practice, the secret is to hold it roughly in place and then tw@ it with the palm of your hand

 

[BRB]

yeah there is a knack too it but hard too explain in words . i usually push down skirting and pop in back clips (if you know what i mean ) i think you need too train them too go in . no point forcing , [usually helps if you give them a clean]

Theres loads of threads on here about this, try this one for starters. http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=218234

push down on top of the skirt and push up with cover works all the time

I get mine wet!! and hit them with palm of hand and they clip back in easily!

Give it a try it does work

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

get it in place with the lugs, then hit it to the point you think you might break it, then hit it harder, thats the nack your looking for , they are a pain and it's sometimes down to luck, one of mine went staright on, the other was having none of it after 2 hours of trying.

I'd like to meet the bloke who designed them & give him a poke in the eye with a muddy stick

hit it harder mate

Loosen the side skirt and remove enough just to fit the cover back on its only a few screws and it pops back in very easy. I was hitting it really hard and was getting pretty mad, gave up and saw a post on here saying to take off the side skirt and it worked a treat.

Good luck.

Sledge hammer and smash it on

*maybe not a good idea if you want in one piece*

Just a hard hit with back of palm usually does it for me

anyone got a part number for the drivers front cover and the cable which holds it on gave up with mine coming off and rubbin on the floor so i ripped it off and now need a new one

 

[Teasy]

I didnt need the part nr, just tell them which one it is you need at the stealers coz the fronts are different to the rears. Oh & they dont come with the plastic cable

When I re-attached my new one it went on really easy & its still on but I dont know what I did, just lucky I suppose

had this issue with 2 of mine, 1 front, 1 rear
ended up having to fit some self tappers into them to keep them on as no matter how many times i tried the bottom clips would not slot in.

one came loose on the m'way before this and started swinging about at 80mph, not anymore!

I would also like to find the guy who designed these, and poke him in the eye with a cattle prod!

... I now have one in the boot. After attempting to get it on for 2hrs and several neighbours also having a go I have decide that the chav-hole-in-side-skirt look will have to do. A really crap design and cheap plastics!

 

[Teasy]

I got 2 new front tyres on Saturday & now one cover is off & in the boot - ****ing tyre fitters came off when they jacked it up

Another nightmare trying to fit it back on tonight the designer must have been pi**ed when he came up with this design

Leon jacking covers are enough to make a person want to take up self harm.
