Used part – possibility of contamination – must be cleaned
Part description
This Citroën Peugeot 8830C1 driver’s armrest is designed for Citroën and Peugeot cars listed in the documents. It is a used original part from the interior, which is suitable as a replacement for a damaged, worn or missing driver’s seat backrest.
The armrest increases driving comfort and at the same time completes the original look of the car’s interior. When choosing a used part, it is especially important to compare the shape, fit and product label. The designation 8830C1 is therefore essential for the correct identification of the part you are looking for.
As this is a used car part, it may bear normal signs of use consistent with age and use. The possibility of contamination is explicitly stated in the documents, so we recommend thoroughly cleaning and visually inspecting the backrest before assembly.
