Application and function in the seat system

The presented knob is a control element for the backrest adjustment mechanism in the front seat, mounted on the side of the seat base. It is responsible for the convenient adjustment of the backrest tilt angle, allowing the position behind the wheel or in the passenger seat to be tailored to the user's individual preferences. The design intended for Volkswagen and Audi models ensures compatibility with the factory adjustment mechanism and maintains the original interior aesthetics.

Construction and fitment for VW Scirocco Mk3 and Audi A3 8V

The knob has been designed for integration with the factory seat frame in the third-generation VW Scirocco and the Audi A3 8V. The shape, mounting method, and external profile are adapted to stock seats, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the consistent side line of the backrest. The element is intended for installation in the front part of the cabin, in the seat area, making the adjustment operation intuitive and easily accessible to the user.

Benefits of using an original adjustment knob

Using an original backrest adjustment knob in Volkswagen and Audi vehicles allows for maintaining factory ergonomics and predictable mechanism operation. Replacing a worn or damaged element with the correct component from the Seats and benches group helps restore seat operation comfort, reduce play in the controls, and improve the overall impression of the interior. It is a practical solution for both post-accident repairs and refreshing the vehicle's cabin.

Condition and service purpose

The item comes from disassembly and is intended for reinstallation in the vehicle's front seat. It serves as a service part when replacing a damaged knob, filling gaps after upholstery repairs, or when completing seats for renovation and tuning projects. Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry and the way the mechanism works, the knob allows for restoring full backrest adjustment functionality without the need for modifying the seat structure.
