Its placement within the seat back structure maintains the original headrest geometry and ensures proper force distribution in the event of system activation.
Thanks to the original Volkswagen design, the following are preserved:
- compatibility with the New Beetle Cabriolet seat structure,
- proper cooperation with the roll bar mechanism,
- cohesion with other passenger protection system components.
Performance Characteristics of the Component
As part of the original system, the roll bar with cartridge in the headrest ensures repeatable and predictable operation consistent with the vehicle’s design intent. Maintaining original specifications is particularly important in the area of safety, where not only mechanical fit but also appropriate operating characteristics are crucial.
Using a component from the same design line as other seat components reduces the risk of incorrect installation and minimizes the need for modifications. This is the preferred solution in professional workshops specializing in Volkswagen convertibles.

The offered roll bar with headrest cartridge is a used part, allowing for economical vehicle repair while maintaining the original manufacturer’s specifications. This type of component is particularly useful for:
- post-accident seat repairs in convertibles,
- restoring the completeness of the headrest protection system,
- servicing vehicles where the roll bar mechanism has been activated or damaged.
Choosing an original Volkswagen solution helps maintain the vehicle’s technical consistency and facilitates further servicing.
