Couple of things…can you use the no longer needed grommet that you removed to center the upper nipple hardware in the bonnet? And does the strut hit the coolant tank or not? It doesn’t appear so but some have said it does.
Yes…had the same issue. Mounting the ball nut in that location forces the strut to hit the coolant reservoir. Popping it out of place once the hood is closed.
Not entirely sure how this one clears. I bought the racingline brand one and it mounts to the existing latch bracket, doesn't work when you put it in that hole

What engine is this? Because on my mk8 is a little black box on the coolant reservoir and it will hit it.
The gas strut hits the coolant tank when closed :(
I just discovered that on my Golf 8 R.
@@timlocke8588 get the Dark Ice Designs kit as it doesn't hit the coolant tank.

Yes exactly - Racing line and dark ice designs mount to the bonnet hook plate so it doesn't kit the coolant tank.
Please how to order it.

£99 😮 The racingline one is £20 cheaper, not as fiddly to install, mount is stronger and doesn't foul on the coolant line
20 bucks at any hardware store
