VWR Paddle Compatibility Alltrack 7.5?

[Trollin86]

Got a set of VWR Paddles. Watched a couple YouTube videos of how to install online. After attempting to install on my ‘18 Alltrack the stock OEM paddles look different than what I’ve seen on videos. There is zero access to pull the pin out, even if I pry/flex on the paddles I can’t see the pin. I took a couple
of pictures for reference. On shopDAP/USPmotorsports and ECStuning they all confirm fitment for the Alltrack.
Any sage advice from the group? Will I need to upgrade to a GTi/R steering wheel to make these work?
Thanks!

Base golf wheel? There’s no pins for the paddles. I bought some gti paddles few years ago and ran into the same problem.

It’s an Alltrack SE, no idea if it shares the same wheel as the base Golf. What was your fix?

If it’s this shape vs the circle, the paddles are different to gti/R. I gave up (was scared to pop the airbag to access the whole paddle) and ordered some aliexpress stick on ones.

I have the same as Dameon, stick on ones, i bought "normal gti" ones first, but the mounting was different, only then did i find out that my GT has different padd.es.

Thanks all. I am thinking I’ll swap to a Golf R wheel & airbag in the future. Going to hold onto these VWR paddles for the time being. I don’t care for the Leyo and other stick on paddles. A real shame that these won’t work on Golf/Alltracks as advertised on every site that sells them.
