1950-1971 Rear Engine Compartment Seal Body to Engine Tin 111813705A - OEM Number(s) (111-813-705-A)
Seal Out Excess Heat and Keep Your Engine Running Cool
Prevent engine overheating and preserve proper airflow with this Engine Compartment Rear Seal for early Air-Cooled VWs. This reproduction-quality EPDM rubber seal installs into the body C-groove at the rear and sides of your engine bay—sealing the gap where your engine cooling tin meets the body sheet metal. A worn or missing seal allows hot air from your muffler or heat exchangers to reenter the engine compartment, compromising cooling and performance. Restore cooling efficiency with this vital rear compartment seal.
