Volvo Seat Back Panel - Genuine Volvo 32248047

Product Information

A seat back panel is the hard or upholstered cover located on the rear side of a vehicle’s front seat backrest. It protects the seat’s internal structure and components, provides a finished look, and sometimes includes storage pockets or mounting points for accessories.

• Cracks, Breaks, or Warping: Physical damage from impact, wear, or aging that affects the panel’s shape or integrity.
• Loose or Detached Panel: The panel may come loose or rattle if clips or fasteners break.
• Damaged Storage Pockets: If the panel has pockets, they may tear or sag, reducing functionality.

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo 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 Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct 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.
