1958-1964 Beetle Wiper Pivot Shaft RH Double Pin 111998162 - OEM Number(s) (111-998-162)
Restore smooth, reliable windshield wiper operation with this reproduction RH pivot shaft designed to fit classic Volkswagen Beetle models.
This Volkswagen wiper pivot shaft is a reproduction of the right-hand double-pin design used on 1958–1964 Beetles. The pivot shaft is a critical part of your wiper system, allowing smooth, consistent movement across the windshield.
Most original pivot shafts fail due to worn seals, corrosion, and years of dry operation. Replacing yours ensures proper wiper sweep, reduced motor strain, and improved visibility in all weather conditions. An often-overlooked but essential component in any VW restoration, especially on long-stored or daily-driven air-cooled cars.
For best results, inspect your left-side pivot and all wiper seals while performing this repair.
