OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi N-907-163-03 is an individual body rivet stud with a sealing washer. It is specified at the confirmed factory body repair points below and provides the riveted mounting feature required at that assigned location.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: N-907-163-03 / N90716303.
- Component type: rivet stud with sealing washer.
- Factory nominal rivet designation: 4.8 × 6.5 mm; the assigned threaded-pin entry identifies an 14.3 mm stud designation.
- These are factory component designations, not package dimensions.
- Quantity supplied: one individual rivet stud with its sealing washer.
The product photo shows the stud, sealing washer and installation mandrel. Match the assigned repair point and original stud profile before ordering. Related rivet-stud numbers have different specified projections or profiles; a common nominal rivet diameter does not establish interchangeability.
Common reasons to replace
- A damaged original mounting stud at the assigned repair point.
- A missing or compromised sealing washer at a location requiring this sealed fastener.
- A riveted attachment removed during a factory-approved body repair.
- A diagnosed attachment repair that specifically calls for this rivet-stud number.
Inspect the substrate and attachment before selecting repair hardware. A damaged or enlarged mounting hole, cracked panel or unsuitable repair surface requires evaluation under the factory body repair procedure. This fastener is not a universal remedy for a damaged panel or an interchangeable substitute for other structural rivets.
Vehicle fitment
Fitment is tied to the original assigned body repair location. The listed vehicles have multiple fastener types; model and year do not mean this stud fits every mounting point.

Installation and service guidance
Use the factory body repair procedure for the actual location, including the prescribed substrate preparation, hole specification, sealing method and compatible rivet-setting equipment.
Support and position the components as specified, protect nearby wiring and fittings during removal, and avoid altering the required mounting geometry. Use the correct setting-tool arrangement for a rivet stud so installation does not damage its projecting mounting feature.
Do not reuse a removed rivet or substitute a related stud based only on its appearance. Inspect the completed attachment and sealing washer after installation, and complete any separate mounting-hardware or corrosion-protection steps called for by the repair information. This listing supplies the rivet stud only; associated panels, nuts, clips and repair materials are separate.
