Rsolaregolf said:the spare tire "bolt" showed up a few days early, simple to install, just push down into the slot in the bodywork and twist 90*, it locks into place. It's exactly the same as the setup in our 2015 SEL TDI Passat. 1K0803899D is the part number if anyone needs it.
So for $112 we now have a "real" spare.
I'm putting the sealant that came with the eGolf in our 07 MX5 as the original Mazda sealant is well past expiration.
Thanks for the PN, I sourced it online at https://www.vwpartsprime.com/oem/volkswagen-accessories_bolt-1k0803899d.html . I don't have time to go to my local dealer so buying it online is a big convenience for me.
