Hi All, I am down to one working latch on the engine cover (one of these: http://images.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/pix/3627532.jpg ). When I got the van the left latch on the cover had the flat bit snapped off. I guess the PO forgot to move those tire chains and forced the lid down. (how many people carry and actually use those? I guess it gives you a warm feeling as you go into a mountain pass where it says 'carry chains') So, my request to the list: does anyone have a crappy engine lid they'd be willing to part out and send me just the latch bolt. Alternatively, has anyone rigged up a fix for this? Thanks in advance, Tom |
