OVERVIEW
Original fastening hardware for the liftgate support mounting plate
N-909-699-03 is the Genuine VW/Audi recessed-drive bolt assigned to the liftgate support mounting plate on the verified applications below. It secures the original plate or bracket at the factory attachment position.
Fasteners with a similar diameter can have different lengths, head forms and clamping requirements. Match the original factory number and assigned joint rather than choosing a bolt by appearance alone.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-909-699-03.
- Factory specification: liftgate support mounting bolt N90969903.
- Design: recessed drive head with collar and threaded shank.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.
The nominal thread and length describe the fastener itself. This listing supplies one bolt rather than the full quantity required for an assembly. Matching nuts, washers, brackets and related parts are separate.
Common reasons to replace
- The original bolt is missing after component service.
- Threads are damaged or will not engage correctly.
- The drive head is rounded or otherwise damaged.
- Corrosion or deformation makes the original fastener unsuitable for reuse.
Inspect the support mounting plate, receiving threads and nearby structure. A worn lift support, distorted bracket or damaged attachment point requires separate repair; this bolt alone will not restore a liftgate that cannot hold itself open.

Installation guidance
Support the liftgate independently before removing support-related hardware. Follow the vehicle-specific mounting-plate procedure, align the plate without forcing it and use the prescribed tightening torque. Keep hands clear of support and hinge pinch points.
Check that the plate and support are secure and the liftgate opens and closes correctly. Test any powered function only after the complete support arrangement is correctly assembled.
Ordering information
