Hey BB, you've just cut my grass on this!


Tiguanblue, I'm sure if you ask, they'll accept it! But expect to pay more if you want to by PayPal!

Just in case ... when I said go through my pics, I meant those in this thread starting from page 1!

Hi, I'm writing from Italy, Sorrento, I
ask if you had problems with the installation of
platforms and is an easy thing. Thank you, hello Paul

Hi there, venturing a little far from home!

The installation is not hard!

But is very fiddly and little hard to work out because pictures in instruction manual is in black and white.

Most time consuming part is cutting out the shapes on the underside cover, so that you can fit it back on.

Template is provided to cut out the shapes, but not 100% accurate.


Definitely recommend two people to install and have car up on a hoist.

Hello, thanks for the reply!
In fact they are a bit far, but now with the internet
distance does not exist any more!
We bought the same platforms as well as I had
instructions in black and white, are practically in
little, I bought them from a site at 200 euros Slovenian
including shipping costs, it seems a good
price.
For the installation I found it difficult to mount
of rivet nuts, but eventually I made it there.
All in all, I look good, we hope that last over
time. As soon as I can also put photos on your
site. Take a look at our site dedicated to
tiguan: Tiguanclub
See you soon, hello Paul

I fitted this type to a customers car. It was nicer looking. but the bolt kit was crap, had to replace most of the bolts.

Has anyone purchased and fitted any after-market sidesteps for the Tig (either VW 'approved' or otherwise)? What's your experience with them and where, cost, etc?

Discussed already in this thread:

BB: You think you can move this thread when you come across it.

OK, we are now in the Tiguan Side Steps thread. I just wish that some people were not lazy and used the search function or read through the pages or look at the stickies.

[aussietig]

Well introduce a 3 strikes and you're out policy BB!

I'm sure that will get ppl's attention.

My lower door seals are always full of dirt/crud when i was around the inside door, I guess the seals just don't seal that well...
I would like to know how much the side steps help towards shielding dirt from coming in the dooropenings etc, you guys have any experience with this?
Alternatively, do the steps effectively catch all the crap that jumps up from dirt roads etc.?
many thanks

Hi. I realise this thread is a bit old, but wondering if you ended up getting these and whether it had the desired effect (of keeping dust/dirt out of seals and rocks from hitting sills). I am "up north" too, and expect similar problem! Where abouts are you (I am on Atherton Tableland)?
Cheers
