TRUNK GRILLE
The accessories are intended for professional fitting. Škoda Auto recommends the fitting to
be carried out by its contract partners.
Attention. The trunk grille shall not be used in vehicles fitted with a separate heating
(due to collision of the trunk grille fixture and the separate heating remote control unit).
Assembly procedure
Remove the trunk cover from the vehicle and tilt the backrests of the back seats.
Mount the trunk grille as shown on the pictures in the manual. Perform the individual
operations of the trunk grille fitting on both sides of the car in the same way.
During the drilling operation make sure the metal chips are sucked up properly to avoid
damaging the car interior.

parts catalogue under Part No. 5L6 071 754.
