Volkswagen Interior Grab Bar - Genuine VW 1K0857607M7G8

Product Information

An interior grab bar (also called an assist handle) is a component commonly found inside vehicles, especially above the doors, on the A-pillar, B-pillar, or roof area. Its main purpose is to provide passengers with extra stability and support when entering or exiting the vehicle, or while the vehicle is in motion. These bars are typically made of durable plastic, metal, or reinforced composite materials and are anchored securely to the vehicle’s frame or trim.

• Loose or Wobbly Fitment – The grab bar moves, rattles, or feels unstable when pulled, often due to worn or broken mounting clips or screws.
• Cracks or Visible Damage – The handle shows cracks, discoloration, or deformation, reducing both strength and appearance.
• Noises or Detachment – Creaking, squeaking, or, in severe cases, partial/complete detachment when used, making it unsafe for support.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
