OVERVIEW
Genuine upper pillar-trim attachment hardware
The N-909-197-01 Genuine VW/Audi screw secures the assigned upper pillar-trim or coat-hook connection on the configurations listed below. It is an individual original-style panel fastener used at its cataloged attachment point, helping retain the correctly assembled trim and hook mounting arrangement.
The connection differs by vehicle: the listed Golf applications use upper center-pillar/coat-hook hardware, while the specified TT coupe uses its assigned upper quarter-pillar connection. The A8 L and S8 rows refer to the original upper center-pillar installation. Match the specific row and complete factory number before ordering.
Technical details
- Factory part number: N-909-197-01.
- Nominal factory size: 4.2 × 11.
- Factory description: oval-head panel screw, combination design.
- Application: assigned upper pillar-trim and coat-hook mounting hardware.
- Quantity supplied: one screw.
The nominal specification identifies this panel screw rather than a packaged shipping dimension. It is not an M4 machine bolt. Correct engagement depends on the original receiver, head seating arrangement and mounting location. Similar screws elsewhere in the pillar trim may be a different size.
Common reasons to replace
- The screw is missing after pillar-trim or coat-hook service.
- The drive recess is damaged or rounded.
- The threaded profile no longer engages the original receiver correctly.
- The screw is bent or its head no longer seats properly.
- A previous repair used an incorrect substitute.
Inspect the hook, trim mounting point and receiver before fitting replacement hardware. A new screw will not repair a cracked hook or stripped receiver. Loose trim can require repair of its other clips and mounting points as well as replacement of the missing or damaged screw.

Installation guidance
Follow the factory pillar-trim and coat-hook procedure for the exact vehicle. Observe all prescribed steps for nearby restraint-system components when removing pillar trim. Keep original covers and associated mounting pieces identified during disassembly.
Align the trim and hook before carefully starting the screw in the intended receiver. Use the correct tool for the actual drive profile and the specified tightening instruction for the connection. Do not overtighten to compensate for a damaged receiver or misaligned panel.
After assembly, check that the hook, covers and pillar trim are seated and retained correctly and that all adjacent components are restored as prescribed.
Ordering information
