Purpose and function of the component

The component has been designed specifically for the Caddy 2K generation, taking into account the geometry of the rear right door area. This means that:

• the profile of the strip is matched to the shape of the trim and bodywork embossments,
• compatibility with standard Volkswagen interior trim elements is maintained.

Such fitment allows the part to be treated as a plug & play solution for the rear right door area, provided the body version and model year are compatible within the 2K generation.
