OVERVIEW
Original oval-head hardware for partition-net supports
N-903-659-16 is a Genuine VW/Audi M8 x 22 oval-head bolt with an internal hex drive. Its confirmed applications below secure the specified original partition-net support or eyelet attachment.
The head profile and bearing arrangement suit the assigned mounting point. Cargo-area partitions, roller covers and tie-down hardware can appear together in a catalog, but their fasteners serve different joints; match the original complete number rather than selecting by appearance.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-903-659-16.
- Factory specification: M8 x 22 mm oval-head internal-hex bolt.
- Design: Rounded head with recessed six-sided drive and broad bearing surface.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.
The full revision N-903-659-16 identifies the supplied fastener. This listing supplies one bolt, not a support bracket, net partition or complete set of mounting screws.
Common reasons to replace
- A damaged hex drive that prevents controlled tightening or removal.
- Damaged threads, a bent shank or a compromised head seating surface.
- Missing original hardware or an incorrect substitute discovered during partition support service.
Inspect the support eyelet, bracket and receiving thread. A partition that will not latch or stays loose can have a worn locking mechanism or damaged support, which a replacement bolt alone will not repair.
