Original VAG bodywork trim component.

It consists of a contoured masking body and integrated mounting snap fasteners. It is designed to aesthetically conceal the steel hinge arm (4K8827300A, cover the wiring harnesses running to the tailgate, and protect the moving hinge elements from the accumulation of leaves, dirt, and other debris washed off the roof.

Fitment guarantee and VIN verification

Each cover undergoes a thorough inspection of the flexibility of the mounting clips and an assessment of the plastic surface condition before being prepared for shipping.

Fitment / installation tip: The initial 4K8 designation (tailgate group 827) with the even ending 280 clearly defines the right-hand side of the trim, which is designed precisely for the roof gutter geometry and hinge profile of the Audi A7 Sportback (covers from the Audi A6 Limousine or Avant do not fit due to the different hinge design). During tailgate removal or paintwork, the plastic snap fasteners of this cover often break, causing the trim to sag, produce air whistling at higher speeds, or fall off at the car wash. The original OEM component snaps securely and firmly onto the hinge arm. Before purchasing, we recommend comparing the OE number stamped on the inside of the plastic or verifying it using the vehicle's VIN.
