This product description is offered by Wieländer+Schill, specifically recommended for Volkswagen AG workshop equipment (VAS), high-precision VAS 852 015/1 Molding wedge (Molding Wedge) detailed presentation. This tool is essential during body repair and metalworking processes where precise and damage-free separation or fitting is required.
The product belongs to Wieländer+Schill's broad range of OEM offerings and VAS service and workshop equipment categories, ensuring quality and functionality that meet factory specifications.
The VAS 852 015/1 Molding Wedge is a specialized tool designed for the careful separation of body panels, coverings, or other components, thereby minimizing the risk of damage during repair or maintenance work. It is ideally suited for creating gaps or gently widening existing joints without scratching or deforming surrounding surfaces.
The design and material of the tool guarantee durability and reliability in a high-demand workshop environment. The use of POM (Polyoxymethylene) material ensures that the wedge is sufficiently rigid for effective work while providing enough flexibility to protect sensitive surfaces.
This molding wedge is the ideal accessory for any professional toolkit dealing with the bodywork of modern vehicles, especially those of the Volkswagen Group, where strict adherence to VAS standards is essential.

The tool is made from POM (also known as acetal) plastic, which offers several advantages during bodywork tasks:
Excellent mechanical strength: POM is a high-performance engineering plastic that withstands high loads without breaking or permanently deforming.
Low coefficient of friction: This allows for the easy insertion and movement of the wedge in gaps, reducing the required effort.
Excellent surface protection properties: POM does not leave marks on painted or sensitive plastic surfaces, unlike metal tools.
Chemical resistance: Resistant to common workshop cleaning agents and solvents.
The use of the VAS 852 015/1 Forming Wedge significantly increases the efficiency and quality of work processes:
Upholstery and Trim Removal: Ideal for the damage-free removal of door panels, dashboard elements, decorative strips, and other interior or exterior trim where releasing mounting clips requires delicate intervention.
Gapping: Can be used for the fine adjustment of gaps, for example, when fitting panels or inserting insulation materials.
Painting and Body Repair: The tool is non-conductive and does not cause sparking, which makes working near certain body parts safer.
OEM Compatibility: As it is cataloged as part of the Volkswagen AG workshop equipment, it is guaranteed to meet strict factory requirements and compatibility with the latest vehicle models.
The 200 mm length provides optimal leverage for applying the necessary separation force, while the 25×25 mm cross-section provides sufficient stability for precise positioning.
