What you need to know:
- Auto body parts perform a load-bearing function (e.g. that of vehicle occupants, cargo, chassis, and driveline assemblies). They also serve to protect vehicle occupants from exterior elements and traffic accidents.
- Among a vehicle’s key passive safety features are its seat belts and air bags, its rigid occupant cell, as well as its front and rear deformation zones, which provide extensive protection by absorbing impact energy.
- Indications of auto body damage include not only visible dents, scrapes and rust formation, but also damp areas inside the vehicle caused by window, door and sunroof leaks.
- Damaged body panels alter the vehicle’s deformation behavior and no longer provide optimum collision protection.
- Malfunctioning or inferior cross members can lead to incorrect activation of the airbags or seatbelt tensioners, since these are controlled by acceleration sensors in conjunction with the applicable control unit that has been specifically tuned by Volkswagen.
Opt for the Genuine Part because:
- Optimum safety: The high degree of auto body rigidity, optimal panel strength and reliable absorption of impact energy ensure predefined crash behavior, which can protect occupants in case of traffic accident.
- Their excellent build quality, precise fit and optimal material composition ensure short repair times, vehicle aerodynamics and light weight for superior fuel economy.
- Various coatings, carefully applied seam sealing and high-precision laser welds provide effective protection against corrosion and scratching, thus ensuring full functional performance and robust durability for increased service life.
- Vehicles repaired with Genuine auto body products retain the original quality of their appearance, safety and comfort, as well as the anti-perforation warranty covering Genuine paint materials.
