Description

VW California.
In the zip up pouch in the tailgate, there are two clips that hold the collapsible seats in place. One of mine had snapped off & you have to take everything apart to replace these clips. The one I've printed snaps onto the bar so all you have to do is cut the old one off.
I've included a Fusion 360 model of this, if you want to edit it. Enjoy!
