Purpose and function of the headrest

For the user, this means:

• certainty of proper seating in the factory seat sockets,
• preservation of the original seat line and a consistent cabin appearance,
• comfortable head position during city and highway driving.

Condition and service application

The item comes from disassembly and is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective solution for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged headrest, or restoring the completeness of the interior after upholstery work. It is a practical choice for users who want to keep original Volkswagen components while optimizing service costs.
