Purpose and function in the Skoda Octavia Mk4

The original design allows for preserving the factory character of the interior, which is particularly important when replacing a damaged or worn frame after intensive use.

The gear selector frame has been designed as an element that integrates with other Console Parts, such as decorative panels or tunnel covers. The construction includes appropriate mounting points and cutouts for the switch, which facilitates installation and ensures stable seating in the factory mounts.

Key functional features:

• factory fitment to the shape of the Skoda Octavia Mk4 console,
• maintaining the correct position of the gear selector relative to the driver,
• suitability for use as a replacement part during interior repairs.
