Jump Seat Side Panel Part# 253 887 482

[vwbeta]

Hey all

I did a search for the part # and 'jump seat panel' as i'm seaking a replacement, or parts.

I have a jumpseat in my 1987 Westfalia. I guess it was an option, and the original purchaser had it installed, or...who knows?

anyway - i have 2 panels. one is cracked on the back, and some of the plastic rivets and plugs are broken.

So: i need some plastic rivets/plugs. these aren't the same as for door panels -they are a flat quarter shape at one end and dont have hooks.

As for the panels: I presume there isn't any NOS for these, and i have to repair them - any thoughts on recovering? the grey textured vinyl is worn off in places, and i would love a match to the rest of the panels. of course if there is someone selling some in really good shape, i might be interested ;-P

thanks and cheers!!

I would attempt a plastic repair of the panel and then take them to an upholsterer to recover them. I tried to do it myself and it didn't work out like I'd hoped. I generally don't use them anyway, but still would have been nice had they turned out right. Good luck.

Chris,

You might be able to get replacement pieces from Interstate Used Parts. It's not their usual type of part, but I'd bet they have a van with the pieces you want sitting in their yard.

Call 'em and see ~ they're located in Lake Elsinore about an hour SE of Orange county.

Best,
