Volkswagen Liftgate Bump Stop - Genuine VW 5E9827499B

Product Information

Volkswagen Liftgate and Parts diagram for Atlas Cross Sport, Taos

A liftgate bump stop is a small but important component mounted on the vehicle body or liftgate, designed to cushion and align the liftgate when it closes. It helps prevent metal-to-metal contact, reduces vibrations, and ensures a snug, rattle-free fit. By absorbing impact and maintaining proper alignment, the bump stop contributes to a smoother closing action and prolongs the life of the liftgate and latch assembly.

• Rattling or vibration noises from the liftgate while driving.
• Misaligned or uneven closing, where the liftgate doesn’t sit flush with the body.
• Visible wear, cracking, or missing bump stops, leading to harsh metal contact.

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.
