Buy Volkswagen Golf Plus [5M] Rear Chrome Tailgate Strip – Genuine OEM Trim

Product Overview

Enhance the aesthetic appeal of your vehicle with our genuine Volkswagen Golf Plus [5M] rear chrome tailgate strip. This high-quality trim piece is designed to provide a premium, factory-finish look to the rear of your Golf Plus, perfectly complementing the existing design language of the [5M] chassis.

As a genuine Volkswagen component, this trim piece is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original factory installation. Unlike inferior aftermarket adhesive strips that can yellow, peel, or corrode when exposed to the harsh British weather, this OEM chrome strip ensures a perfect, flush fit and long-term durability. It is the ideal solution for replacing a damaged, faded, or scratched original strip, instantly restoring the high-end appearance of your vehicle.

Compatibility & Fitment

This rear chrome strip is precision-engineered for the Volkswagen Golf Plus [5M] (2005–2014).

• Model Compatibility: Volkswagen Golf Plus [5M]

• OEM Part Number: 5M0 853 651 (Please verify against your current part or chassis number)

• Fitment Importance: The tailgate area of the Golf Plus features a specific curvature and mounting mechanism. Using genuine parts ensures that the clip-points align perfectly with the tailgate, preventing gaps that could trap moisture and cause underlying paint damage.

How It Works

The rear chrome strip serves primarily as a decorative exterior trim piece located on the tailgate, just above the number plate area.

• Aesthetic Function: It provides a sleek, reflective accent that defines the rear silhouette of the Golf Plus.

• Wear Indicators: Over time, exposure to road salt, UV rays, and high-pressure car washes can cause the chrome finish to pit, peel, or lose its luster. Replacing this strip is a common “refresh” step for maintaining the resale value and curb appeal of your Volkswagen.

Performance Benefits

• Restored Aesthetics: Returns your vehicle to its “showroom” condition.

• Resale Value: A clean, undamaged rear exterior is a key indicator of a well-maintained vehicle to prospective buyers.

• Weather Resistance: Genuine VW chrome finishes are treated to resist oxidation, ensuring they remain bright and reflective through many winters of UK road salt usage.

Build Quality & Engineering

Volkswagen’s engineering standards for exterior trim are uncompromising:

• OEM Manufacturing: Built using high-impact, automotive-grade plastics with a multi-layer chrome plating process.

• Precision Engineering: Every clip and mounting point is manufactured to tolerances of fractions of a millimetre for a rattle-free, factory-tight fit.

• Longevity Testing: Tested to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations—from freezing UK winter mornings to intense summer heat—without cracking or delamination.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation involves removing the interior trim panel of the tailgate to access the mounting bolts/clips of the exterior strip.

• Professional Recommendation: While this can be done by a competent DIY enthusiast, we recommend consulting a workshop manual or a professional technician to ensure the tailgate inner trim is removed without damaging plastic clips.

• Maintenance: Regular cleaning with pH-neutral car shampoo and avoiding abrasive scouring pads will keep the chrome finish looking pristine for years.

Durability & Storage

This part is delivered in secure, protective Volkswagen-branded packaging to prevent scratching of the chrome surface during transit. If not installing immediately, store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and heavy objects that could place pressure on the mounting tabs.
