Volkswagen Kick Panel Trim - Genuine VW 5GM86348382V

Product Information

The kick panel trim is an interior finishing component located along the lower side of the vehicle’s cabin, typically near the driver’s and passenger’s footwells. Its purpose is to protect wiring and structural elements while providing a clean, finished look to the interior. Made from durable plastic or composite material, it resists scuffs, impacts, and daily wear from passengers’ feet. The kick panel trim also contributes to cabin noise reduction and overall interior fit-and-finish.

• Visible cracks, scratches, or broken sections – reduce the panel’s protective and aesthetic function.
• Loose or rattling fitment – caused by worn or damaged clips and mounting points.
• Discoloration or fading – from UV exposure or prolonged use, diminishing interior appearance.

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.
