Volkswagen Caddy Headrest Replacement Parts

No, these are different generations with different seat designs, so the headrests are not a straight swap. The Mk3 ran from 2004 to 2015 and the Mk4 from 2015 to 2020, and the seat mounting points and headrest post sizing differ between them. Stick to parts from the same generation as your vehicle and confirm the match with the breaker against your registration.

Yes, trim level can affect headrest fitment on the Caddy because different trim grades — such as the basic panel van trim versus higher Life or Maxi Life grades — can have different seat types, and headrests are matched to the seat. A headrest from a higher-spec Caddy with more supportive or shaped seats may not locate correctly in a base-spec seat, even within the same generation. When contacting a breaker, let them know your trim level as well as your registration so they can check the seat type.

Both years fall within the Mk3 generation (2004–2015), which received a facelift around 2010, so you need to be careful about whether both vehicles are the same pre- or post-facelift version. Interior seat parts can sometimes carry over across a facelift but it is not guaranteed, and trim level still needs to match. Confirm with the breaker by giving them both registrations so they can check the seat specification directly.

For standard front headrests the side usually does not matter, as the headrest itself is typically symmetrical and interchangeable between the nearside (NS) and offside (OS) front seats within the same seat type. However, if the seat has an integrated side-support or shaped bolster design, the headrest profile may differ, so it is worth checking with the breaker. For rear headrests the seating position (left, centre, right) can matter depending on whether your Caddy has a rear bench, so confirm this when requesting a quote.

Not necessarily — the Caddy panel van and the Caddy Life (passenger) versions can have different seat specifications, which means headrests may differ in post diameter, height adjustment mechanism, or shape. A headrest from a stripped-out van seat is unlikely to suit a Life-grade multi-passenger seat correctly. Always tell the breaker whether your vehicle is the van or Life variant, along with your registration, so they can source the right headrest.

The Caddy Maxi is the long-wheelbase version and, while the front seats are generally the same as in the standard Caddy of the same generation and trim, the additional rear seating positions in the Maxi may use headrests specific to that row. If you need a rear headrest, make sure the breaker knows you have the Maxi so they can match the correct seat row and specification.
