i can't tell what you took a picture of? how about another pict from farther away so we (I) can see the general area of the part you are looking for.

It's where the rear seat back latches to the body. The rubber protectors to stop people from banging their body on the stud.

I haven't seen those offered new, used is your best bet. You may have to post a WTB ad as those are rarely asked for.
VW simply calls it trim, pretty useless name for someone asking for it. |

If that part number is correct, prepare to spend $420 a piece.
VW is sure smoking something.

VWclassic doesn't even show it as avaliable so no worries on ordering it. The price posted by the vendor is useless |

Ebay has a used pair for sale. 253 885 590 part number in your browser and look for the ebay ad. Maybe that's what your looking for, good luck.

Nice find.
They need to raise their price by about $390.
