This product is for the complete strut bar, net and rear carpet kit.
Please Note - These are very high quality products, made completely in house in Stern Performance Parts facility in Germany. Because of specifications, please allow 4-6 weeks for your product to arrive. Typically it will take a lot less than this, but with current travel / import issues, we may experience delays getting orders to the UK. Due to high import fees, the postage cost of Stern Performance products is £80. The quality and finish of these products more than makes up for the wait, that's why we use this kit on our own Mk8 Clubsport! Thank you for understanding.
Stern Performance Parts are made for motorsport enthusiasts who remove their back seats for the racetrack.
The rear seat bench will be removed and replaced by a strut bar, net and carpet and causes a weight reduction that improves your performance and gives the car a sporty and clean OEM look.
All products are handcrafted to the highest quality standards by our tailors at our location in Kaltenkirchen, Germany.
We have high quality standards and therefore we put great value on quality and workmanship in our entire product range.
What does a rear seat delete kit do?
The idea of removing/deleting the rear seat bench is to save weight and increase the performance on the racetrack. In addition to performance factor, the whole kit is a rear-catcher.
To install the kit, the rear seat bench needs to be removed completely. The removal of the rear seat bench can be done in a few minutes. Instructions are included in the parcel.
Depending on the vehicle and the material of the rear seat bench, you can save up to 25 kg. The full kit itself weighs around 5 kg in total. We saved 23kg in our own Mk8 Clubsport.
How to install
The installation of the rear seat delete kit and carpet is very easy and simple. The kit is plug and play and can be installed within a few minutes. At first, you lay down the carpet in the car.
The strut is attached using aluminium plates attach to the outside of the strut bar. The strut bar is firmly screwed to the seat holder with aluminium plates.
Place the aluminium plate of the strut bar on top of the seat holder, place the second aluminium plate under the seat holder and screw the seat brackets using the screws supplied.
The net is attached to the Isofix points in the back of the rear seat bench area by using our net loops. Put the net around the Isofix holder and put it back into the shift regulators.
The tension of the net can be adjusted by using the slide regulators like a backpack. It's very easy and simple.
