    What's this black plastic part called? T5 front sliding seat adjustment stopper?

    This is a stock standard 2010 sliding seat. This part is on either end of the adjustment lever for sliding the seat. Acts as a restrainer/stopper when not broken.
    Noticed that when sliding the seat back, this part was fouling on the battery under the seat. When I took the seat off I could see one of these parts was broken. I then managed to break the other one too
    I was going to see what I could find on ebay maybe.
    Part number might be 7HO.881.181a or 7H0.881.181a
    It might help if I knew what it was called?
    But my workshop manual doesn't go into that detail.
    Looks like I'll have to see what VW will want to charge for these.

    I suppose thinking about it a bit more, I could just use some fine tie wire to repair it?

    In my line of work it pays to dig deeper for a good price , normally when I am looking for spare parts for my sunroof work I use original part numbers . Put the number into a Google search with VW or other manufacturers brand after it and voila up pops the options for buyers , hope it helps .

    I use google and ebay searches for my own work and I had tried that but obviously not as well as you...seems I may not have been as good as I thought I was
    I must have done something very wrong and not tried hard enough because when I did it again now, it is exactly as you said. Thankyou very much again.
