Using the original Volkswagen design reduces the risk of compatibility issues and facilitates installation in the factory mounting points.

Construction and fitment for Volkswagen Crafter SY

The Sliding Door Contact Plate Rear Left has been designed for the SY generation Crafter body, taking into account the geometry of the guides and the door's range of motion. The component is prepared to work with the factory electrical harness, which allows for maintaining the original cable routing and connection points. As a result, the installation proceeds in an orderly manner, without the need to modify the wiring.

This solution will work well both when replacing a damaged contact and when restoring the efficiency of the door system after body repairs. Precise fitment to the specific vehicle location minimizes the risk of improper door closing or connection interruptions during the operation of the door carriage.
