Table Leg Clip

Judyl · Dec 1, 2015

I managed to break the little clip that holds the table leg in place when you are putting away the sliding table. The local VW dealer does not have a part number for this. Has anyone else had this and how did you solve it ?

Ours broke really early on in ownership. The dealer offered us a complete new table; which I couldn't accept as I thought it was madness. I always intended to find a new clip and repair it myself but... we put a hair scunchie (apparently) doubled up on the end to stop rattles when we put it away (by simply holiding the leg as the table is lowered) and it has been as absolutely as good as gold..

What model and year, as it is not mentioned, we cannot help if you don't supply all the details.

Our 2008 model's clip is not exactly broken but only 'weakly' holds the leg up against the table undersurface and is a bit of a nuisance but ok when the table is slid back.
So I'd be keen to hear what you replace and from where.
Thanks IA

It would appear you would need Part 74 - Retaining Bracket - NO replacement Part.

Could you make up something using Velcro?

Thanks for all your help. My guess is part 47 as well. Will have a good look this week to see if that is right. Might improvise next weekend with Velcro or elastic as I am away next weekend. I have been unable to get away since July due to family problems and I am missing my time away in my second home although I do use it as my only vehicle so it has been kept busy.

thread resurrection here...

My table is rattling as well. It looks like the clip that holds the table leg up to the bottom of the table has broken.

Has anyone had any luck sourcing these?

I managed to get one via a breakers. Not easy to replace as you have to drill the rivet out of the old one (carefully), then source a shallow rivet to fix the donor back on. I filled the hole with araldite first, left it overnight, then drilled it out to the correct diameter. You have to be mega-careful riveting it back on, otherwise you end up with a visible "bump" in the top of the table.

Good luck with this, perhaps it's because of the riveted aspect to this that VW have not made it available.

We have used an adhesive metal plate that came with a phone dash mount kit and some small magnets. This holds the table leg tight when closed and it is easy to pull the leg down when using the table.

This is an idea to keep in mind IF I would end up in this situation.
Luckily I am very neurotic about my stuff, so I have not broken much.

I tried the magnet solution without success, but a friend gave me a thin strap that provides a discrete fix without too much faff.

Hiya. Is this the part everyone else is talking about?

I'm a new T6 Cali owner who decided against a conversion because I liked the idea of being able to replace bit with easily available VW parts - so I'm a bit annoyed the first thing that breaks turns out to be irreplaceable!

That looks like a 3D printable part. Don't know how hard the design process is.

Found the part number I was looking for (7H7068504) and have received delivery. Whether I will be able to fit it will be another question and it seems to require a rivet!
