Purpose and fitment

The presented backrest is dedicated to the rear left side of the vehicle, which facilitates clear identification of the installation location in the Mini Cabrio R52. Thanks to its factory origin, the correct mounting points and geometry are preserved, which translates into a secure fit within the body structure and proper interaction with the seat cushion and passive safety elements.

The fabric finish of the backrest is consistent with the character of the Mini Cabrio interior, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and comfort of use. The structure has been designed to maintain a stable position for the passenger's back while driving, even with frequent folding and unfolding of the rear seat.

Construction and functional properties

The seat backrest features a classic, upholstered fabric construction, optimized for daily use in a convertible cabin. The applied structure provides:

• proper back support in the rear part of the vehicle,
• a stable connection with the seat cushion and mounting elements,
• the ability to fold repeatedly without losing functionality.

By maintaining the original form, the backrest works with factory adjustment and locking mechanisms, allowing for trouble-free use of the rear seat in various cargo space configurations.

Benefits of using an original backrest

Using a used, original backrest in a Mini Cabrio R52 allows for maintaining the structural and visual consistency of the interior. Key advantages include:

• factory fitment to the body and existing mounting points,
• preservation of the original rear seat line,
• no need for modifications to the upholstery or seat frame.

Such a solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged element, or restoring full functionality to the rear row of seats after intensive use.

Condition and practical application

The backrest comes from dismantling and is intended for re-installation in a vehicle where restoring the original rear seat configuration is required. The used nature of the item makes it an economical solution that is consistent with the factory assumptions of the Mini manufacturer.

Proper selection of the backrest for the specific model and installation side minimizes the risk of installation problems and ensures correct interaction with other interior components, such as seat belts, headrests, or upholstery panels.
