VW Transporter T5 T5.1 Rear Seat Mounting Trim Floor Liner Plastic Cover

#85

Genuine used Volkswagen Transporter T5 / T5.1 rear seat mounting floor trim / plastic cover, designed to finish and protect the area around the rear passenger seat mounting point.

This factory interior trim fits around the rear seat floor mounting bracket, helping provide a neat finished appearance while covering the exposed edges around the seat attachment point.

Part Type: Rear Seat Mounting Trim / Floor Mount Cover / Seat Bracket Cover

Application: Rear Passenger Seat Mounting Area

Position: Rear Passenger Compartment / Floor

Material: Moulded Plastic

Manufacturer: Volkswagen / VAG

Condition: Genuine used OEM part

Compatibility

Suitable for selected:

* Volkswagen Transporter T5 – 2003–2009

* Volkswagen Transporter T5.1 / T5 GP – 2010–2015

* Volkswagen Caravelle T5 / T5.1

* Volkswagen Multivan T5 / T5.1

* Volkswagen Shuttle

* Volkswagen Kombi

* Transporter passenger conversions

* Selected camper conversions retaining the corresponding factory rear-seat mounting system

Compatibility depends heavily on the rear seat and floor configuration.

Transporters were produced with several different passenger seating arrangements, so this trim should be matched against the original part and mounting point before ordering.

Technical Information

The rear passenger seats on applicable Transporter models attach to reinforced mounting points within the vehicle floor.

Depending on specification, plastic trim pieces are fitted around these mounting areas to:

* Cover exposed mounting hardware

* Protect the mounting area from dirt and debris

* Provide a finished factory appearance

* Protect surrounding floor covering

* Reduce exposed edges around the seat mounting point

* Finish the transition between the floor liner and seat bracket

This component is a trim/cover part and is not itself the structural seat mounting bracket.

Rear Seat Mounting System Information

Volkswagen T5 passenger models were available with numerous rear seating arrangements.

These can include:

* Single rear seats

* Double passenger seats

* Triple bench seats

* Removable seating

* Folding seating

* Shuttle seating

* Caravelle seating

* Multivan seating

* Kombi configurations

The floor mounting arrangement and surrounding trim can therefore differ considerably between vehicles.

For this reason, visual comparison is particularly important.

Possible OE Reference

A documented VW T5 rear seat floor mounting bracket cover uses the reference:

7H0883087A

Full formatting:

7H0 883 087 A

A black version is also referenced as:

7H0883087A 9B9

However, because no OE number has been supplied for this particular item, please use this only as a reference.

Do not assume 7H0883087A is the correct number unless it matches the markings on the actual part.

Common Reasons for Replacement

Typical reasons for replacing this trim include:

* Original cover missing

* Plastic cracked

* Broken retaining clips

* Trim damaged during seat removal

* Floor trim damaged during conversion

* Scratched or heavily worn surface

* Previous interior modification

* Rear seats being refitted

* Camper being converted back to passenger specification

* Restoration of original interior

* Missing trim following floor-liner replacement

Common Damage Areas

These trims are positioned at floor level and can receive considerable wear.

Check particularly for:

* Broken retaining tabs

* Cracks

* Split corners

* Damaged edges

* Distorted plastic

* Missing clips

* Heavy scratches

* Previous repairs

Older interior plastic can become brittle, so care should be taken during removal and installation.

Floor Liner Information

This component is designed to work with the corresponding vehicle floor and seat mounting arrangement.

Depending on specification, the surrounding floor may consist of:

* Rubber commercial floor

* Carpeted passenger floor

* Moulded floor covering

* Kombi floor

* Shuttle passenger flooring

* Caravelle interior flooring

The shape and height of the trim can therefore vary depending on the floor system fitted.

Important Diagnostic / Fitment Information

If the trim does not sit correctly, check the surrounding installation before assuming the replacement is incorrect.

Inspect:

* Rear seat mounting bracket

* Floor liner

* Carpet/rubber floor thickness

* Retaining clips

* Mounting points

* Surrounding plastic trim

* Seat bracket position

Aftermarket flooring or camper conversions can alter the original floor height and prevent factory trim from sitting correctly.

Installation

Before fitting:

* Compare the replacement with the original

* Compare overall dimensions

* Compare profile/shape

* Check mounting points

* Check retaining tabs

* Confirm the seat mounting arrangement

* Compare surrounding floor liner

Clean dirt and debris from around the mounting point before installation.

Align the trim correctly and carefully engage the retaining points.

Avoid forcing the plastic into position, particularly if the trim is cold or has become brittle with age.

Important Seat Safety Information

This plastic component is a trim cover only.

It should not be considered part of the structural seat-retention system.

When removing or refitting rear passenger seats, ensure that:

* Structural seat brackets are undamaged

* Seat mounting hardware is correct

* Floor mounting points are secure

* Seat locks engage correctly

* Required bolts/fixings are correctly installed

* Seat belts and restraint components are correctly fitted

Any structural rear-seat mounting work should be completed according to the appropriate Volkswagen workshop procedure.

Programming / Coding

No programming or coding is required.

This is a purely mechanical interior trim component.

Important Compatibility Note

Please compare before ordering:

* Original trim shape

* OE number where visible

* Overall dimensions

* Mounting tabs

* Retaining points

* Rear seat configuration

* Seat mounting bracket

* Floor liner type

* Interior specification

* Vehicle production year

Do not purchase solely based on the vehicle being a T5 or T5.1.

Different Transporter, Shuttle, Kombi, Caravelle and Multivan seating/floor configurations can use different trim pieces.

Matching the photographs and any OE number moulded into the original component is strongly recommended.
