It’s basically a trim piece, a cover plate. Usually you’ll find them around where seat adjustments are – the bolts or mechanisms underneath the seat itself. It covers up those access points and gives a finished look. They sometimes cover where wiring harnesses pass through too. Think of it as a cosmetic piece, but with a little bit of protection built in. It hides the working parts of the seat adjustment, and it helps keep dirt and grime from getting into those delicate mechanisms. It’s not structural, doesn’t affect how the seat actually works, it just sits on top. Honestly, you probably won’t notice it’s missing until it is missing. If it’s gone, you’ll see exposed bolts or the bare seat track, which doesn't look great. More than that, it acts like a shield, preventing things from snagging on those adjustment parts and potentially causing a problem down the line. They're often plastic, so they can crack or break, especially with wear and tear. If you’re going for a full interior refresh, or just want everything looking its best, replacing a broken or missing escutcheon is a simple fix. You can often find them pretty easily, even places like Fixparts Online carry a good range of these smaller trim pieces. Audi stands behind its products: Escutcheon (MPN 7N088310282V) has a 12-month warranty!
