I have managed to crack the middle of the plastic panel behind the fabric on the rear of the 3 seat bench (don't ask me how).

Does anyone have any documentation / links to guides as to how this can be replaced?

I've attached a photo for clarity - it's basically the entire rear panel of the bench under the fabric. I have ordered the part already.

Thanks to one of the community members for sharing workshop manual - love this forum and community!
 
Having looked through the workshop manual I decided best to take it to my local VW commercial service centre to get it done properly.

However, they have come across an issue in that the upholstery is zipped together and they don't know how to re-zip it when they've replaced the panel. Also, their workshop manual (and the version that I have from 2018) doesn't give them any guidance as to how to do this!

I've attached some photos to show the zip (without the zipper)! Any thoughts?

You would need something like this, as the zipper is removed after the fitting of the covers
