Rear Seat base trim

Post by mk1 »

Moved from another thread.

A membe is looking for the trim that goes at the base of the rear seat.

Not to derail/pollute Doc's excellent thread. I could do that, but the profile isn't quite the same. The front lip is longer than the rear, and curves forward slightly at the bottom. So says the Inno parts book.

There is no decent pic in the UK parts list, but the trim used is just plain grey plastic in a "U" shape. Same as is fitted to the sharp edges on the inside top of the doors.

Thanks for moving it Mark. Hopefully someone has an idea. I have some simple non fluted arch trim that will do the job until I get my hands on the proper item.

FYI the Inno Manual lists it as AXE 383 - Finisher. Not a great help maybe.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

If it's the grey trim that fits along the front edge of the rear seat pan, the part number is 24A1276, google the part number and there are a few suppliers that stock the item.

Thanks for the UK part number folks, that's a huge help. Now I can actually find it!

I don't think the stuff above is like the drawing you posted though. Its just grey PVC with even sides.

Like this:

Searching the part number give me this one from 7ent in the US, which is less than ideal, but at least there is a picture. I thought it looked like it had a little lip at the bottom on one side, but now I'm not sure...

That looks like the closest I have seen. Assuming the picture is accurate.
