Application and function in the vehicle

The presented bolt is a component intended for installation in the rear part of the bodywork, where it is responsible for the stable mounting of the tail light. A correctly selected mounting element reduces the risk of play, vibrations, and leaks around the light housing, which is important for both the durability of the lamp and road safety.

Proper tightening of the bolt at the dedicated mounting point helps maintain the correct geometry of the lamp relative to the bodywork, which promotes even distribution of forces while driving and minimizes the load acting on the light housing.

Compatibility and selection by part numbers

The bolt has been developed as a component fitting selected Audi and Seat models, where the tail light design provides for a dedicated screw mounting. This allows the user to use a part that complies with the manufacturer's factory requirements, which facilitates installation and eliminates the need for modifications.

Selecting this bolt for a specific car should be based on verification by catalog numbers and vehicle model to maintain full compatibility with the original mounting point. This approach reduces the risk of problems with thread fit, length, or the shape of the bolt head in the lamp socket.

Characteristics of the mounting component

As a component from the mounting group for rear lighting, the bolt operates in an area exposed to temperature changes, moisture, and vibrations originating from the suspension and bodywork. The use of appropriate material and thread geometry allows for securely tightening the lamp to the bodywork and maintaining clamping force over a long period of use.

A properly selected mounting bolt reduces the risk of damaging the socket in the lamp or bodywork, and also helps avoid unwanted noises resulting from play in the connection. This is particularly important when driving on uneven surfaces, where bolted connections are heavily loaded.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The offered item comes from the secondary market, which allows for an economical repair of the rear lighting system while maintaining parameters similar to factory solutions. In the case of mounting bolts for lamps, using a used part is often fully sufficient, provided the element retains the correct geometry and thread functionality.

Choosing a used mounting component is particularly beneficial for point repairs, such as replacing a damaged lamp or reconstructing a mount after a minor collision. This allows for reduced service costs while maintaining the consistency of the solutions used with the vehicle's original design.
