1958-1979 Convertible Door Centering Wedge 141837277 - OEM Number(s) (141-837-277)
Restore Proper Door Alignment with Convertible-Specific Centering Wedge
If your Beetle or Karmann Ghia convertible doors aren’t closing or aligning properly, worn or missing door centering wedges may be the culprit. Unlike sedans and coupes, convertibles lack rigid structural support, making this door centering wedge critical for correct body alignment. The wedge mounts to the center of the door and mates with a receiver bracket (sold separately), ensuring that your doors self-align every time they’re closed.
Replace worn wedges to eliminate door sag and ensure consistent shut lines on your air-cooled VW convertible.
