Product Description
The VW rear engine to body seal is used in conjunction with the firewall (part #111-741G) seal to prevent hot air from entering the engine compartment and as such is a crucial part to keeping the air cooled engine cool. It fits in the groove around the rear and sides of the engine and installation requires removing the engine or most of the engine tin. This seal is made in the United States and fits 1967 through 1974 Standard Beetles, 1971 through 1974 Super Beetles, 1967 through 1974 Karmann Ghias and 1973 through 1974 Things. The seal is intentionally made longer than needed and will have to be trimmed down at either end where it meets the firewall seal. Original Part # 111813705D
Our Expert's Take:
Silicone spray lubricant is your best friend when installing a rear engine seal, or really any seal that fits into a metal channel. Silicone helps minimize the friction between the metal and the rubber without hurting the seal material. Keeping the channel and seal lubricated will make the installation process much faster. Straighten out the channel as best you can, remove any old seal material or debris, clean it out, and liberally apply lubricant to save yourself some time and hassle.
