This is the kind of interior mirror trim cap that dealers only sell as part of a whole assembly — if they can supply it at all for a Volkswagen Passat these days. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break

Mirror stem trim cap cracks or goes missing. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — twenty years on, there's no margin left in it.

How we reproduce them

The process is simple: drop the part in or send clear photos with a ruler in frame, we confirm fit details, and print replacements — often with a little extra material where the original always cracked.

We print these in ABS. ABS matches the look and feel of the factory plastic, takes a sanded or textured finish well, and handles cabin temperatures without complaint.

Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
