OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi N-107-529-01 is an individual fillister-head screw assigned to the upper center pillar trim attachment on the verified Passat applications below. It restores the correct original fastening point when the screw has been lost or damaged during interior service.
Technical details and contents
- Factory part number: N-107-529-01 / N10752901.
- Factory nominal designation: M5 × 18.
- Recessed drive head with threaded fastening shank.
- Quantity supplied: one screw.
- Upper center pillar trim, covers, clips and other hardware are separate.
The nominal thread designation describes the fastener specification and is not a shipping dimension. The original catalog identifies this screw at point 12 in the pillar trim assembly. Similar screws elsewhere in the interior can have a different thread, head or length.
Function in the trim assembly
The screw secures the assigned trim attachment. Correct fastening helps retain the panel at its intended mounting point, but the complete panel also depends on its other retainers and locating features. This screw is not a structural seat-belt anchorage bolt and must never replace one.
Common reasons to replace
- The screw was lost during pillar trim removal.
- The recessed drive is damaged and no longer accepts the correct tool securely.
- The threads are damaged, crossed or badly corroded.
- The original screw was replaced with incorrect hardware.
- The correct individual fastener is needed when reassembling serviced interior trim.
Loose trim or an interior rattle can also result from broken panel tabs, damaged clips or a damaged receiving mount. Inspect those parts before assuming that replacing or tightening this screw alone will correct the concern.

Installation guidance
Follow the factory pillar trim removal and installation procedure, including any precautions for adjacent restraint-system components and wiring. Support the trim, align its locating features and start the screw by hand. Use the correct recessed-drive tool and the specified tightening procedure for this trim connection.
Do not force a screw into damaged receiving threads or use extra tightening force to pull a misaligned panel into place. Confirm that the trim sits correctly and does not interfere with belt movement or neighboring components after reassembly.
