Hey Arctra,

Where do you get all these diagrams from? They're great! Would be neat to have them for the whole car, readily available.
Thanks,

KR

Try searching for Tiguan Manual on eBay - you can pick up the disc's for $20. Not the easiest app to use, but once you get the hang of it you'll be fine. And it is useful for confriming things, fixing things, etc.

Hi borbor1313, do you still have the Pics to reassemble please as they are no longer on the forum? I have unfortunatley come across the same problem with our Tiguan's rear cupholders on first use. All I managed to place into it was two drinks bottles, no kids to use it for a ladder.

I'll try and find my original pics and repost tonight as mytiguan website killed all my photos stored there.
Did you see the respone time from ACTRA. 7mins after you posted, you have a diagram. Speedy gonzales indeed

OK, now my kids have stepped on this stupidly cup designed holder, and broken it. The cover is held with 1mm diameter plastic pivots, so its almost intentionally designed to break.
I am booked for my car service next week, do you think it can be realistically claimed as a warranty item, or do I just superglue the whole thing shut?

I would claim it under the warranty.
You shouldn't have a problem with you dealer replacing it. Just don't tell them that your kids stepped on it.

Thanks - I'll give it a try, but the kiddie seats might give it away

Going in just for a warranty claim ... no chance!

Going in for a service and mentioning this as a side matter ...
