Top battery cover is attached to the sides.
Should be one piece.
Is the top just folded under and on one side of battery?

I'd bet its tucked in on the left side. Unfortunately, I think you need to remove the battery cables to pull it off and fix it. I'd take it back to the dealer with a big WTF?

Same, mine is a box with no bottom. The top is connected, its just folded down somewhere.
Same here.

Probably a MY2018 thing and cost cutting.

just checked mine. Did they move the battery?
This is my 16 R
Just the angle i guess. But make sure that it's not folded down inside. It's possible one of the idiots at the dealership had to remove the battery and just put it back in with the top folded down.
Also, nice clean engine bay BB.

Currently also being discussed over on vwroc.com as some owners have the battery cover with the top removed and others have the fully enclosed version with the top. One of the forum members have contacted VWUK for clarification and are waiting for a response.
Someone on vwroc.com pointed out that the battery cover on the Golf R at the Geneva Motor Show was one without a top. Maybe the 'topless' version was planned to be introduced from build week 45; one of the two weeks each year (the other is week 22) when which VW introduce spec changes, and if supplies of the current version were used up before build week 45, use of the 'topless' one was brought forward?

But it's unlikely they did this to the show car at the Geneva Motor Show, which didn't have a top to the battery cover.
