MK7 GTI/A3 Pedal Covers install into TSI
Here's a few pics.
- The brake pedal is a breeze, just press it on into place after you remove the old one by simply pulling it off.
- The dead pedal was much easier than some of the videos floating around indicate. I didn't remove any of the trim pieces. The side trim is thin enough that it has more than enough flex to pop it out and pop the new one in.
• Pull the original dead pedal out by the outward facing edge first (closest to the brake), that side will just pop out.
• Slip your fingers into the top of side trim piece and run them down towards the pedal to pop out the side trim.
• Flex the side trim outwards towards the interior of your car with one hand and with the other hand reach inside and unclip the inner edge of the stock dead pedal and pull it out.
• Slide the new dead pedal into place sliding the tongue-like clips into the holes on the outer edge of the carpet (again the edge closest to the brake)
• Reach under the side panel again and lock the upper and lower inside clips into place.
• Pop the side panel back into place next to the dead pedal.
– Accelerator pedal, this was by far the hardest. I messed with it for a while and couldn't get it. My wife got it to pop on by sliding it on and up from the bottom.

Anyone know of decent pedal covers for the MK7 Golf that don't break the bank? Don't really feel like shelling out for the OEM GTI ones at the price they are.
Tried ordering eBay ones and was sent a set for an e90 BMW
plus they were uber cheap. Way worse than I thought they might be based on the images.
