GTI Key Loops

Here's a guide for anyone wanting the Golf GTI key loops on their Polo GTI keys.

You need to peel the battery cover off to gain access to the T6 torx screw and undo the screw then slide the loop off. Easy to peel the cover off when the key blade is out, then push out. Apologies, this is an "after" picture.

The Golf GTI loops have a slightly different retainer clip configuration on the back clip:-

So you have to get the Dremel out and shave that back clip.

I bought a cheapy Dremel type device from Aldi the other day and it's the first time I've used it - piece of cake to use.

Slide the modified loop on until you have a perfect line up of the T6 screw hole, screw the bolt and put the battery cover back on.
