1971-1979 Bus Rear Fender with Flare RH Sheet Metal 211809168D - OEM Number(s) (211-809-168-D)
Correct Fitment for Flared Bay Window Buses
This Right Rear Fender with 1" Flare is designed for late 1971 through 1979 Bay Window VW Buses. Beginning in mid-1971, Volkswagen added a flared lip to the rear fender arch—this reproduction matches that factory-correct design. Crafted from stamped sheet metal, it restores the proper contour and flare profile for Buses originally equipped with this widened fender lip.
A critical replacement for rusted, dented, or modified rear quarters, this fender panel helps maintain the factory silhouette and ensures a reliable base for bodywork and paint.

Because Details Matter
When replacing rear body sections on your Bay Window Bus, accuracy in fender contour and flare matters. This RH rear fender provides the factory-correct arch and flare style, helping restorers achieve the visual and functional integrity Volkswagen intended.
