Purpose and Fitment

The backrest has been specifically designed for the left side rear seat, ensuring it fits the factory seating arrangement in the fourth-generation Volkswagen Golf GTI. The construction is based on the original manufacturer's design, which translates to proper alignment with the seat base, side panels, and seat folding mechanisms. Installation is done in place of the original element, without the need for modifications to mounting points or the car's body structure.

Materials and Finish

The backrest upholstery is made of genuine leather in a black and blue scheme, characteristic of the sporty GTI variant. This color combination emphasizes the dynamic character of the interior while remaining consistent with the other elements of the rear seat and front seats. The leather surface provides a pleasant-to-touch, easy-to-clean material that withstands daily use well.

Function in the Rear Seat

The rear seat backrest plays a crucial role in the comfort of second-row passengers and in providing stable back support during driving. The version dedicated to the left side works in conjunction with the other seat segments, enabling the functionality of folding and expanding the luggage space (in accordance with the vehicle's factory configuration). Replacing a worn or damaged backrest with an original part allows for the restoration of correct seat geometry and interior aesthetics.

Characteristics of a Used Item

The backrest is from a dismantled vehicle, thus retaining the factory construction and original materials used by Volkswagen. This is a particularly beneficial solution for those who want to maintain compliance with OEM equipment, avoiding the visual differences typical of aftermarket parts. A used item also allows for optimizing interior repair costs while maintaining an appropriate level of quality.
