1K8813309 Volkswagen END PLATE

This part basically caps off the end of a frame rail, usually at the very front or rear of the vehicle’s chassis. It’s a relatively simple piece, but does a couple important jobs. It seals the end of the frame tube, protecting it from rust and corrosion creeping in, and it also provides a finished, clean look. Sometimes it’ll have a mounting point for something like a tow hook or a small accessory. Think of your frame as the skeleton of your vehicle. The end plate is like a cap on the end of a bone. It's not a structural part holding everything together, it's more of a finishing piece that protects the open ends of the frame. It’s generally found on unibody cars, but also on some truck frames. It's not something that directly affects how the vehicle drives, but it's definitely something you’ll notice if it's missing or badly damaged. It's important because that open frame end can collect water, dirt, and salt, and those things will start to rust the frame from the inside out. The end plate acts like a shield, preventing that. Plus, a rusted – out frame end just looks bad, and a missing plate can sometimes cause issues during inspection. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s usually a straightforward replacement. They’re typically bolted or welded on, so you’ll need to determine how yours is attached before ordering. Convenience at its best: End Plate (MPN 1K8813309) includes a 12-month warranty!
