folding chair bolts - part number

[cheekymonkey]

Hi - I think i've seen talk in the past about peoples chairs falling apart as the bolt eventually comes undone.

has anyone replaced these & do they have the part number? I lost the screw in part for one of them but imagine i order the bolt/screw & washer thing.

Cheers

Somewhere on this list someone identified the firm who make the chairs and tables and even posted a link I think. I did a 20 secs search but haven't found it - a bit longer should turn it up I guess?

Good luck

Which bolt are you missing :?:

i'll try take a picture sometime but the folding hinge has a bolt through it with a screw head. it goes through a chunky plastic washer that seperates the leg frames.

I actually have the bolt but it has some kind of screw in head which must have fallen out

I think I may have the makers details but it's on my other computer so I can't get it till tonight.

Sorry guys I thought I had the maker details but I don't. :doh

We've lost the long tubular nut thing off one of the chairs (and it nearly collapsed on me last evening while having an elegant picnic). I asked the guy at SMG about it but he said we'd have to replace the whole chair (!) so we're now looking for a substitute. Volkswagen quality, eh?

 

[Fin]

We had a problem with the bolts issue on our folding chairs with our previous California, however VW just swapped for new chairs no quibble.

 

[ejmoore]

We got our van second hand (2008 model) so I'd be surprised if they'd change it for us - worth a try though.

Could try ringing VW customer services & asking for manufacturers details, or asking if they can get hold of missing parts for you.

We have always replaced the complete chair as not possible (at last time of checking) to order the botls etc...seperately. There is not a manufacturer code on the chair either.

cheers

 

[ejmoore]

Definitive advice from SMG - thanks for confirming this. How much is a new chair?

 

[smgcowfoldparts]

1 camping chair that sits in the tailgate is £69.52 + VAT and before any VIP discount.

cheers

 

[cheekymonkey]

is it not possible to find out who made it & therefore order the single parts?

£70 for a chair when you simply need a screw (because it was badly designed & comes undone) is not very pallatable

 

[smgcowfoldparts]

On the majority of parts there is a manufacturers code which corresponds to a list I have in a book for all parts manufacturers that are used by VW. As far as I can remember there are not any codes on the chair anywhere that would allow me to find out who makes them.

cheers

Cool ok - maybe have to start scouring the fixings sites for something that will bodge it for now

 

[ejmoore]

Is anyone throwing out their old (replaced) chair with only one working bolt? I'd be happy to pay a few quid for it!
