Ski Through Load Retrofit

[redholt]

Afternoon All,

Hopefully a quick yes or no! Is it possible to retrofit the through load hatch on the A3 rear seats or is it just a case of finding a rear seat with it at a breakers and fitting that in? Doing lots of miles with passengers and its becoming a pain not having it.

Many Thanks

Well I have through load and I am pretty sure that you couldn't add it other than by discarding the existing seat back and installing one with through load.
So, yes, either get a back from Audi or a breakers (if you can find one)
Not sure why the passengers find it a pain not having it, unless you mean not having an arm rest.

The arm rest does look sweet, had it on 8P but not on this one.

Yeah it's the arm rest that I'm after. Bit silly that you need to spec the through load to get one but it's done now. Do you think Audi do the part?

 

[The Challinor]

In theory they should sell / make every part I guess. Just give your local parts dept a call.

Here's someone making his own Ski Hatch in a A4:

All you need is the rear seatback...
