Rear bumper/tail light misaligned?

[Kronik]

We have alignment I was told the bumper, tail light and hatch had to be adjusted
So much for quality assurance


Now I just have to wait for the decision from VW on what they are going to do about the paint ....

good luck with it

You've got non-factory reversing sensors which require the removal of the tail lights and rear bumper cover. Chances are it was done then. If VW decline the repair the selling dealer (or whoever installed the reverse sensors) should be covering it.

That's a very good point. The VW service manager said the car must have left the factory in that state but the sensors were indeed fitted at his dealership....

BTW, How did you know the sensors were non-factory?

Sensors installed at VW dealerships ‘stick out’ of the bumper slightly more.. Your ones look exactly the same as mine (fitted at the dealership)

Check out markwid’s pics of his OPS install:

Sensors which are factory installed should look like that..

Good luck with your claim mate..
