Rear Engine to Body Seal for VW Air-Cooled Models

Prevents hot air from entering the engine compartment
Made in the USA for high quality and durability
Seal is intentionally oversized and must be trimmed to fit

The rear engine to body seal fits into the groove along the rear and sides of the engine compartment and works with the firewall seal to keep hot air out, helping maintain proper cooling for your air-cooled engine. Installation requires removing the engine or most of the engine tin. The seal is manufactured in the United States and is intentionally made longer to ensure a proper fit; trimming is required where it meets the firewall seal. Original Part # 111813705D

1973–1974 VW Thing

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.
