Technical Information


This bracket forms part of the front double passenger bench-seat backrest mechanism.


Its purpose is to provide the pivot / adjustment mechanism that allows the seat backrest to fold forward.

Folding Seat System Information


The folding mechanism works together with additional components such as the operating lever, release strap, tensioning components and associated mounting hardware.


VW documentation and owner retrofit information identify 7H0881321 specifically as the adjustment fitting used in the double-seat folding arrangement.


Depending on the exact version, additional components may be required if converting a fixed-backrest bench into a folding configuration.


Common Reasons for Replacement


• Original folding bracket damaged

• Backrest no longer folding correctly

• Mechanism seized

• Excessive play in the seat backrest

• Release mechanism damaged

• Missing bracket from replacement seat

• Restoring a double passenger bench seat

• Converting a compatible fixed double bench to folding operation


Important Seat Conversion Information


⚠️ If purchasing this part to convert a non-folding double passenger seat into a folding seat, the bracket alone may not be sufficient.


Additional genuine components can be required, including:


• Release lever

• Pull strap / loop

• Tensioning element

• Covers

• Pivot / mounting hardware


The exact requirements depend on the existing seat frame and model year.


Installation


The mechanism mounts to the corresponding front double passenger seat frame.


Correct factory mounting hardware should be used.


After installation, ensure that:


• Backrest folds smoothly

• Release mechanism operates correctly

• Backrest locks securely in the upright position

• Mechanism has no excessive movement

• All bolts and retaining hardware are correctly secured


Programming / Coding


No programming or electronic coding required.


This is a mechanical seat adjustment / folding component.


Important Safety Information


⚠️ This component forms part of the passenger seat structure.


Correct installation and secure locking of the backrest are essential for occupant safety.


Any seat modification or conversion should retain the correct VW seat frame, mounting hardware and locking components.


Important Compatibility Note


⚠️ Please compare part number 7H0881321 and the physical design with your existing seat before ordering.

7H0881321

7H0881321A

7H0881321B

7H0881321C

7E0881321


Compatibility can depend on the seat frame, production date and exact double passenger bench configuration.
