VW Reflector Panel - Genuine VW 3C8945105D

Product Information

Automotive reflector panels are non-illuminated reflective surfaces built into vehicles to improve visibility and safety. They don’t produce light themselves, but instead reflect headlights from other vehicles so that your car can be seen clearly at night or in low-visibility conditions.

• Dull or Cloudy Appearance: Reflectors lose their shine due to UV exposure, dirt, oxidation, or aging plastics. This reduces reflectivity, making your car less visible at night.
• Cracks or Damage: Physical damage (from impacts, debris, or accidents) can cause the reflector to break or lose its reflective coating. Water ingress can follow, leading to corrosion or fogging inside light housings.

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.
