Back seat pull rod for flipping down the seats, for when you need the extra space.

Mine broke after just 28 years. They are still available for a fine price. (~10-20€ +shipping) but 3D printing is again faster and cheaper. I don't expect them to last another 28 years, but we shall see.

Shape of the pull rod is not as refined as the original VW rod, but it'll match the style and most importantly, it works.

VW part code 1H0885683 01C. Fits most Volkswagens and Seats from 1992 up to 2002 (https://www.oemvwshop.com/1h0885683-01c-pull-rod-p362703/ if you want to buy one, also for list of vehicles. I have no attachment to the website/webshop in question.)

Printed with Prima Flex

Infill 40% to give it more solid feeling, yet being still flexible.

X1C is capable of printing this in one go standing up, no supports required.

Only time will tell if layer adhesion can keep the part intact. Made part in two parts, in case two different materials are used. This way also flexi part can be printed flat to make it stronger.
