- 7h0807252a detachable tow bar
Sorry to resurrect this post but just purchased a T6 LWB with Westfalen tow bar fitted and there is flex/depression on the plastic bumper.
Van started out as Panel Van
So as I get the correct parts after reading through this post I assume I require
1 x 7H0 807 723. - Bumper support/plastic rail
8 x 701 867 299 01 C - Clips
8 x 357 853 586 B - Grommets
2 x 7H0 807 252 A - Foam inserts
Thanks

Probably just need the foam inserts.
I needed them after having the Westfalia installed.
If it is already fitted I think it should have all the other bits.

7H0807252A towbar bumper support. Installed 2 of these, can now step on the bumper again. Didn't want to take off the bumper, so slid them into place. Had to leave the paper cover on the sticky pads, but I don't think they are going anywhere.

Shopped around to have a detachable tow bar fitted and ended going to Welcome to North West Towbar Centre Stockport | Established 1984 - North West Towbars Manchester as it was just down the road from me. Dropped it off this morning at 11am and got a call just after 1pm to say it's ready for...
Thanks, definitely need the foam supports, nice to know you can slide in without removing outer bumper. I can not see the under bumper support (plastic rail) which strengthens the area under the bumper as the old crash barrier is removed (they say this is needed for panel vans). Doesn’t come (reading comments) with the kit so thought I ought to fit as well.Probably just need the foam inserts.

Thanks for this! I've just done the same.
Took a bit of patience but worth it IMO as it supports the bumper beyond the towbar (unlike if using the pads), and may just help protect the bumper or body in a minor bump.
My 2017 Caravelle had the plastic rail fitted already. You can check by simply looking up under the bumper, without having to remove anything.
The only thing from me is that I went for the detachable as didn't want to forever be bashing shins on a permanent one, but now it's on I can see as the boot lid is so low and ball does not protrude much, I don't think that would of been an issue and I wish I went permanent and saved myself the money (I don't have parking sensors though).
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, i have the same issue with my bumper. As I understand it i will need two foam inserts 7H0807252A, does anyone know where to purchase these as they are £40 each on ebay?
Many thanks

Tempted two make two from sheet stainless steel and line them with thin sticky foam...
Has the tow bar already been fitted or are you planning ahead?
It may be cheaper to keep/acquire the (Kombi) steel crash bar and modify it to fit. Depending on what you have currently.
See post #52 and #54.
Its already been fitted....
I work in a place that can sheet metal fabricate so to make two will probably be the easiest option..
Thanks for your idea
Rob
