New sills ?

[Dude VR6 0]

After just passing my MOT this year, I have been advised to repair my sills for next year. I phoned up the dealers to find out if sills are still available, but to be let down yet again. So does any one know where to buy some new replacement sills as I don't want to start patching it if possible

Vw classic parts probably your best bet

Yeah - I have a feeling you can still buy them from VW Classic Parts in Germany..

Hello there,

 

The left outer sill is part number 535 809 847 £48.32 ???

 

The right outer sill is part number 535 809 848 £48.32

 

Classic parts only lists the right outer,

it doesn't list the left outer,

but if you give the left side part number to VW Heritage they should confirm if it's available or not.

 

 

Looking at the outer sill skin section in detail it does seem to be the same both sides,

as the outer sill skin centre piece on the Corrado isn't one complete piece that goes from front to rear,

like it does on most other vehicles.

The Corrado's outer sill is roughly 32" (81mm) or 33" (84mm) long, it's from the back of the front seats to roughly just in front of the gear stick.

and the whole length from the base of the rear wheel arch to the base of the A-pillar is 66" (1680mm) long.

 

The base of the A-pillar is L shaped and the same for the base of the B-pillar rear quarter panel,

so if you have rust issues close to the A-pillar or B-pillar the replacement outer sill may not correct your rust.

 

 

 

Like I say the centre outer sill skin is roughly 32" (81mm) or 33" (84mm) long.

 

Base of the A-pilla is roughly 12" (335mm) long.

 

And the base of the B-pilla quarter panel is roughly 21" (535mm) long.

 

 

 

Front right A-pillar part number 535 809 840A £42.69

 

Front left A-pillar part number 535 809 839A £42.69

 

Rear right B-pillar quarter panel part number 535 809 844A £495.23

 

Rear left B-pillar quarter panel part number 535 809 843A £495.23

 

 

This is the link for all the part numbers on each side of the Corrado.

This is the link for the outer sill skin at VW Classic Parts. (Number 12)

You can order these panels through VW Heritage as well,

anything that has to come from VW Classic Parts in Germany,

normally takes 2 to 3 weeks to be delivered to your door.

Hope this helps.
