The design is intended to integrate with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of improper fit.

Function in the Vehicle

The trim serves several important functions within the interior structure:

• conceals the structural elements of the C-pillar and the wiring within it,
• stabilizes the side trim in the rear cabin,
• supports the consistent interior color scheme in Oyster,
• reduces the penetration of noise and dirt from the structural space into the cabin.

Thanks to its factory geometry, the trim integrates well with adjacent upholstery panels, contributing to a uniform finish line and enhancing the overall impression of interior quality.

A used component allows for economical repair or replacement of a missing element while maintaining compliance with factory specifications. This type of solution is particularly beneficial for localized interior repairs after mechanical damage, upholstery removal, or seat belt replacement.

• repairs after collisions in the rear of the body,
• comprehensive refreshing of interior upholstery and plastics,
• replacing missing elements after previous modifications,
• restoring the original equipment configuration.

By retaining its factory shape and mounting points, the part allows for installation without the need for structural modifications, which is advantageous both technically and in terms of time.
