VW California Kitchen Table Hinge – Repair Kit


Don't replace your expensive table—repair it. Manufactured by AkiPRINT in the UK, our custom hinges restore your slide-out kitchen table. Both versions are crafted from Premium PETG Carbon Fibre for maximum strength and heat resistance.


Option 1: The Adhesion Hinge (No-Rivets Required)

  • The Seamless Fix: A clean, professional look that requires no drilling or using Rivet gun/rivets

  • Maximum Bond: Features integrated micro-grooves engineered for use with structural adhesives like Sikaflex 252 (recommended as tested)


Option 2: The Rivet Hinge (Traditional)

  • The Proven Classic: A trusted mechanical design for a secure, traditional fit.

  • Ready-to-Install: Includes both 4mm and 3.2mm rivets


Which One Should I Choose?

  • Unsure? Buy Both: If you are uncertain about the condition of your table or which method you prefer, we recommend purchasing both to ensure you are fully prepared. You can save money by selecting this multi-buy option.

  • Check Your Skill Level: The Rivet Hinge requires drilling/rivets, which carries the risk of damaging the thin table surface if not handled with care. If you are not confident with mechanical repairs, the Adhesion Hinge is the simpler, recommended choice.

  • Check Your Table Condition: If your table has previous damage or enlarged holes from old rivets, the Adhesion Hinge is the best solution as it bypasses existing mounting points entirely.


Specification

  • Advanced Composition: Crafted from high-strength Premium PETG Carbon Fibre.

  • Aesthetic Finish: Sleek Black featuring a White Logo and a distinct white background for the California branding.

  • Option 1 includes: 1 x VW California Table Hinge designed for Adhesive

  • Option 2 includes: 1 x VW California Table Hinge, plus 4x 4x8mm and 4x 3.2x8mm rivets to ensure a precise mechanical fit.

  • Dispatch Details: Enjoy Free UK Delivery on every order.



Important Notes

  • Adhesion Version: Ensure the surface is properly prepared according to your adhesive manufacturer's guidelines for a secure, long-lasting bond.

  • Rivet Version: Exercise extreme care when drilling; the table material is very thin, and there is a risk of piercing through the top surface. Additionally, if existing holes are damaged, you may need to source larger-diameter rivets independently.

  • Structural Limits: Please note that the original VW table design has structural limitations, and the part can still snap if subjected to excessive force.
