OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi WHT-005-271 is an individual body and trim mounting screw used at the specific guide, retainer or molding attachment points listed below. It provides the correctly assigned service hardware when a screw is missing or damaged during trim work.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: WHT-005-271 / WHT005271.
- Component: body and trim mounting screw.
- Factory nominal designation: TP5 × 5.9 × 16-F.
- Quantity supplied: one individual screw.
- The archive photo shows the broad head and threaded mounting shank.
- Confirmed applications include specified bumper-cover guide or retainer points and selected door belt-molding attachments.
The factory designation identifies this exact mounting hardware; it is not a package measurement. Match the part number and original attachment point rather than choosing a screw solely by appearance. This listing does not include bumper covers, body panels, trim moldings, guides, retaining nuts or a hardware kit.
Common reasons to replace
- A mounting screw is missing after body or trim service.
- The head or drive recess is damaged during removal.
- The threaded shank is damaged or will not engage the correct retainer.
- The repair procedure specifies replacement hardware at the assigned mounting point.
Inspect the guide, retainer and mating mounting feature before installing new hardware. A damaged attachment, broken guide or incorrect panel alignment requires its own repair. Adding a replacement screw does not correct a broken support or substitute for the full specified mounting arrangement.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory removal and installation procedure for the specific trim component and body configuration. Support the component as specified and identify the correct guide or retainer before removing its fasteners.
Inspect the mounting feature and replace damaged mating hardware separately. Use the tool that matches the screw head, start the screw correctly and avoid forcing it into a damaged or incorrect attachment. Follow the specified sequence and tightening requirements without using a generic torque value.
After installation, verify that the component seats correctly and that the fastener engages the assigned mounting point. Check neighboring clips and guides where the repair procedure requires it. Avoid drawing a misaligned component into place by overtightening its screw.
One small screw is supplied. Order additional individual screws or separately specified retainers only when the verified repair requires them.
